This I think is why we have compiler people in the thread that care a
lot more.

There's:

kernel/locking/mcs_spinlock.h:  smp_cond_load_acquire(l, VAL);                          \
kernel/sched/core.c:                    smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL);
kernel/smp.c:   smp_cond_load_acquire(&csd->node.u_flags, !(VAL & CSD_FLAG_LOCK));

arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:          atomic_cond_read_acquire(&desc.refs, !VAL);
kernel/locking/qrwlock.c:               atomic_cond_read_acquire(&lock->cnts, !(VAL & _QW_LOCKED));
kernel/locking/qrwlock.c:       atomic_cond_read_acquire(&lock->cnts, !(VAL & _QW_LOCKED));
kernel/locking/qrwlock.c:               atomic_cond_read_acquire(&lock->cnts, VAL == _QW_WAITING);
kernel/locking/qspinlock.c:             atomic_cond_read_acquire(&lock->val, !(VAL & _Q_LOCKED_MASK));
kernel/locking/qspinlock.c:     val = atomic_cond_read_acquire(&lock->val, !(VAL & _Q_LOCKED_PENDING_MASK));

include/linux/refcount.h:               smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep();
ipc/mqueue.c:                   smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep();
ipc/msg.c:                      smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep();
ipc/sem.c:                      smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep();
kernel/locking/rwsem.c:                 smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep();
kernel/sched/core.c:    smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep();

kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:__perf_output_begin()

And I'm fairly sure I'm forgetting some... One could argue there's too
many of them to check already.

Both GCC and CLANG had better think about it.
