Recent Clang changes may cause it to delete calls of memcpy(), if the source is an uninitialized volatile local. This happens because passing a pointer to a volatile local into memcpy() discards the volatile qualifier, giving the compiler a free hand to optimize the memcpy() call away. Use OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() to hide the uninitialized var from the too-smart compiler.

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.
