Use rseq_unqual_scalar_typeof() rather than typeof() in macros to remove
the volatile qualifier (if there is one in the input argument), thus
generating better assembly code in those scenarios.
Also add extra brackets around the "p" parameter in RSEQ_READ_ONCE(),
RSEQ_WRITE_ONCE(), and rseq_unqual_scalar_typeof() across architectures
to preserve expectations of operator priority. Here is an example that
shows how operator priority may be an issue with missing parentheses:
#define m(p) \
do { \
__typeof__(*p) v = 0; \
} while (0)
void fct(unsigned long long *p1)
{
m(p1 + 1); /* works */
m(1 + p1); /* broken */
}

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.
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.
