so this commit causes a kernel build slowdown depending on the .config
of between 50% and over 100%. I just bisected locking/kcsan and got
NOT_OK: cdd28ad2d811 READ_ONCE: Use data_race() to avoid KCSAN instrumentation
OK: 88f1be32068d kcsan: Rework data_race() so that it can be used by
READ_ONCE()
with a simple:
$ git clean -dqfx && mk defconfig
$ time make -j<NUM_CORES+1>
I'm not even booting the kernels - simply checking out the above commits
and building the target kernels. I.e., something in that commit is
making gcc go nuts in the compilation phases.
