From bb0c99e08ab9aa6d04b40cb63c72db9950d51749 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Elver Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 14:28:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Fix non-atomic __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=y The implementation of __READ_ONCE() under CONFIG_LTO=y incorrectly qualified the fallback "once" access for types larger than 8 bytes, which are not atomic but should still happen "once" and suppress common compiler optimizations. The cast `volatile typeof(__x)` applied the volatile qualifier to the pointer type itself rather than the pointee. This created a volatile pointer to a non-volatile type, which violated __READ_ONCE() semantics. Fix this by casting to `volatile typeof(*__x) *`. With a defconfig + LTO + debug options build, we see the following functions to be affected: xen_manage_runstate_time (884 -> 944 bytes) xen_steal_clock (248 -> 340 bytes) ^-- use __READ_ONCE() to load vcpu_runstate_info structs Fixes: e35123d83ee3 ("arm64: lto: Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Boqun Feng Signed-off-by: Marco Elver Tested-by: David Laight Signed-off-by: Will Deacon --- arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h b/arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h index 78beceec10cda..fc0fb42b0b641 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h +++ b/arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ default: \ atomic = 0; \ } \ - atomic ?
