4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Will Deacon <will.dea...@arm.com>
commit c2bc66082e1048c7573d72e62f597bdc5ce13fea upstream.
[ Note, this is a Git cherry-pick of the following commit:
76ebbe78f739 ("locking/barriers: Add implicit smp_read_barrier_depends() to
READ_ONCE()")
... for easier x86 PTI code testing and back-porting. ]
In preparation for the removal of lockless_dereference(), which is the
same as READ_ONCE() on all architectures other than Alpha, add an
implicit smp_read_barrier_depends() to READ_ONCE() so that it can be
used to head dependency chains on all architectures.
