If we're going to make this consistent, it would make sense to similarly
annotate 'w' regs. That will make it easier going forward to enforce a
policy that registers are suitably annotated.
Also, there's a risk that we silently mask a bug here, for which clang's
warning is legitimate, so we need to review this very carefully...

... to that end, could you split these into a few patches?
That way, knowledgeable people can focus their review on the code they
understand.
That doesn't need to be a patch per file; all the KVM bits can be
collated in one patch, for example. However, the atomics, kvm, and
uaccess+word-at-a-time bits should certainly be separate patches given
their (existing) complexity.
Otherwise, I have a couple of comments below.

Please make this use write_sysreg_s() instead, i.e.
static inline void gic_write_bpr1(u32 val)
{
write_sysreg_s(var, ICC_BPR1_EL1);
}
... that uses the 'x' modifier internally, and it's what we do for the
other GIC sysreg accesors.
This accessor was missed by commit:
d44ffa5ae70a15a1 ("irqchip/gic-v3: Convert arm64 GIC accessors to {read,write}_sysreg_s")
... because it was added concurrently by commitL
91ef84428a86b75a ("irqchip/gic-v3: Reset BPR during initialization")
... i.e. it was not deliberately omitted.

In general, the '[%xN]' pattern looks *very* suspicious to me. Any
address must be 64-bit, so this would mask a legitimate warning.
Given the prototype of this function the code if fine either way, but
were we to refactor things (e.g. making this a macro), that might not be
true.
... so I'm not sure it make sense to alter instances used for addresses.
Thanks,
Mark.
