Add volatile current->state to list of implicitly atomic accesses. This is in preparation to eventually enable KCSAN on kernel/sched (which currently still has KCSAN_SANITIZE := n). Since accesses that match the special check in atomic.h are rare, it makes more sense to move this check to the slow-path, avoiding the additional compare in the fast-path. With the microbenchmark, a speedup of ~6% is measured. Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
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.
