Currently we define some fairly verbose wrappers for the cmpxchg()
family so that we can pass a pointer and size into kasan_check_write().
The wrappers duplicate the size-switching logic necessary in arch code,
and only work for scalar types. On some architectures, (cmp)xchg are
used on non-scalar types, and thus the instrumented wrappers need to be
able to handle this.
We could take the type-punning logic from {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), but this
makes the wrappers even more verbose, and requires several local
variables in the macros.
Instead, let's simplify the wrappers into simple macros which:
* snapshot the pointer into a single local variable, called __ai_ptr to
avoid conflicts with variables in the scope of the caller.
* call kasan_check_write() on __ai_ptr.
* invoke the relevant arch_*() function, passing the original arguments,
bar __ai_ptr being substituted for ptr.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
