Also for more context, see:
commit 7829fb09a2b4 ("lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against
dead store elimination")

By the way, shouldn't that barrier_data() be directly in compiler.h
too, since it is for both gcc & clang?

Miguel, would you mind taking this into your compiler-attributes tree?

Sure, at least we get quickly some linux-next time.

Note it would be nice to separate the patch into two (one for the
comments, another for OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR), and also possibly another
for barrier_data().

Cheers,
Miguel

Okay, I will try.
