Replace _Generic-based __unqual_scalar_typeof() with more complete __rwonce_typeof_unqual(). This strips qualifiers from all types, not just integer types, which is required to be able to assign (must be non-const) to __u.__val in the non-atomic case (required for #2). Once our minimum compiler versions are bumped, this just becomes TYPEOF_UNQUAL() (or typeof_unqual() should we decide to adopt C23 naming). Sadly the fallback version of __rwonce_typeof_unqual() cannot be used as a general TYPEOF_UNQUAL() fallback (see code comments). One subtle point here is that non-integer types of __val could be const or volatile within the union with the old __unqual_scalar_typeof(), if the passed variable is const or volatile. This would then result in a forced load from the stack if __u.__val is volatile; in the case of const, it does look odd if the underlying storage changes, but the compiler is told said member is "const" -- it smells like UB. 2. Eliminate the atomic flag and ternary conditional expression. Move the fallback volatile load into the default case of the switch, ensuring __u is unconditionally initialized across all paths. The statement expression now unconditionally returns __u.__val. This refactoring appears to help the compiler improve (or fix) code generation. With a defconfig + LTO + debug options builds, we observe different codegen for the following functions: btrfs_reclaim_sweep (708 -> 1032 bytes) btrfs_sinfo_bg_reclaim_threshold_store (200 -> 204 bytes) check_mem_access (3652 -> 3692 bytes) [inlined bpf_map_is_rdonly] console_flush_all (1268 -> 1264 bytes) console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check (180 -> 176 bytes) igb_add_filter (640 -> 636 bytes) igb_config_tx_modes (2404 -> 2400 bytes) kvm_vcpu_on_spin (480 -> 476 bytes) map_freeze (376 -> 380 bytes) netlink_bind (1664 -> 1656 bytes) nmi_cpu_backtrace (404 -> 400 bytes) set_rps_cpu (516 -> 520 bytes) swap_cluster_readahead (944 -> 932 bytes) tcp_accecn_third_ack (328 -> 336 bytes) tcp_create_openreq_child (1764 -> 1772 bytes) tcp_data_queue (5784 -> 5892 bytes) tcp_ecn_rcv_synack (620 -> 628 bytes) xen_manage_runstate_time (944 -> 896 bytes) xen_steal_clock (340 -> 296 bytes) Increase of some functions are due to more aggressive inlining due to better codegen (in this build, e.g. bpf_map_is_rdonly is no longer present due to being inlined completely).
