My point is that a lot of those "dead stores" are already being performed by kernel hardening. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/186d32bbf034417b40...
So on one hand we've got developers saying "adding dead stores hurts performance, don't do it and keep that essential warning disabled", and on the other hand developers are adding dead stores all over the place for the sake of security.
