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.
