Remove the `volatile` qualifier used with __iomem in helper functions
in io.c. These helper functions are just wrappers around the
corresponding accessors so they are unnecessary.
This fixes the following UML build error with CONFIG_RUST enabled:
In file included from rust/helpers/helpers.c:19:
rust/helpers/io.c:12:10: error: passing 'volatile void *' to parameter of type 'void *' discards qualifiers [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers]
12 | iounmap(addr);
| ^~~~
arch/um/include/asm/io.h:19:42: note: passing argument to parameter 'addr' here
19 | static inline void iounmap(void __iomem *addr)
| ^
1 error generated.
[ Arnd explains [1] that removing the qualifier is the way forward
(thanks!):
Rihgt, I tried this last week when it came up first, removing the
'volatile' annotations in the asm-generic/io.h header and then
all the ones that caused build regressions on arm/arm64/x86
randconfig and allmodconfig builds. This patch is a little
longer than my original version as I did run into a few
regressions later.
As far as I can tell, none of these volatile annotations have
any actual effect, and most of them date back to ancient kernels
where this may have been required.
Leaving it out of the rust interface is clearly the right way,
and it shouldn't be too hard to upstream the changes below
when we need to, but I also don't see any priority to send these.
If anyone wants to help out, I can send them the whole patch.
I created an issue [2] in case someone wants to help. - Miguel ]

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 reStructuredText 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.
