[ Upstream commit 6c1c5097781f563b70a81683ea6fdac21637573b ] Long standing KCSAN issues are caused by data-race around some dev->stats changes. Most performance critical paths already use per-cpu variables, or per-queue ones. It is reasonable (and more correct) to use atomic operations for the slow paths. This patch adds an union for each field of net_device_stats, so that we can convert paths that are not yet protected by a spinlock or a mutex. netdev_stats_to_stats64() no longer has an #if BITS_PER_LONG==64 Note that the memcpy() we were using on 64bit arches had no provision to avoid load-tearing, while atomic_long_read() is providing the needed protection at no cost.

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.
