... to avoid unwanted gcc optimizations SMP kernels fail to boot with commit596ff4a09b("cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask optimizations"). | | percpu: BUG: failure at mm/percpu.c:2981/pcpu_build_alloc_info()! | The write operation performed by the SCOND instruction in the atomic inline asm code is not properly passed to the compiler. The compiler cannot correctly optimize a nested loop that runs through the cpumask in the pcpu_build_alloc_info() function. Fix this by add a compiler barrier (memory clobber in inline asm). Apparently atomic ops used to have memory clobber implicitly via surrounding smp_mb(). However commitb64be68369("ARC: atomics: implement relaxed variants") removed the smp_mb() for the relaxed variants, but failed to add the explicit compiler barrier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
