Looking to get this patch and [1] slated for 6.7 which fixes some
kselftest builds on older kernels.

When building with Clang, I am getting many warnings from the selftests/rseq tree.
Here's one such example from rseq tree:

| 1234 | while (!atomic_load(&args->percpu_list_ptr)) {}

Use compiler builtins `__atomic_load_n()` and `__atomic_store_n()` with
accompanying __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE and __ATOMIC_RELEASE, respectively. This
will fix the warnings because the compiler builtins do not expect their
arguments to have _Atomic type. This should also make TSAN happier.

Peter, should this go through tip ?
Shuah, should to go through selftests ?
I can take this through selftests and apply it - hoping there
are no conflicts with what's in Peter's tree.
thanks,
