Merge patch series "riscv: Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for pte accesses"
Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@rivosinc.com> says:
This series is a follow-up for riscv of a recent series from Ryan [1] which
converts all direct dereferences of pte_t into a ptet_get() access.
The goal here for riscv is to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for all page
table entries accesses to avoid any compiler transformation when the
hardware can concurrently modify the page tables entries (A/D bits for
example).
I went a bit further and added pud/p4d/pgd_get() helpers as such concurrent
modifications can happen too at those levels.
