[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 06/15] qom/object: update class cache atomically

[Alex Bennée]

The idiom CPU_GET_CLASS(cpu) is fairly extensively used in various
threads and trips of ThreadSanitizer due to the fact it updates
obj->class->object_cast_cache behind the scenes. As this is just a
fast-path cache there is no need to lock updates.

However to ensure defined C11 behaviour across threads we need to use
the plain atomic_read/set primitives and keep the sanitizer happy.
