Clang and GCC behave a little differently when it comes to the
__no_sanitize_thread attribute, which has valid reasons, and depending
on context either one could be right.
Traditionally, user space ThreadSanitizer [1] still expects instrumented
builtin atomics (to avoid false positives) and __tsan_func_{entry,exit}
(to generate meaningful stack traces), even if the function has the
attribute no_sanitize("thread").
[1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.html#attribute-no-sanitize-thread
GCC doesn't follow the same policy (for better or worse), and removes
all kinds of instrumentation if no_sanitize is added. Arguably, since
this may be a problem for user space ThreadSanitizer, we expect this may
change in future.
Since KCSAN != ThreadSanitizer, the likelihood of false positives even
without barrier instrumentation everywhere, is much lower by design.
At least for Clang, however, to fully remove all sanitizer
instrumentation, we must add the disable_sanitizer_instrumentation
attribute, which is available since Clang 14.0.

Add support for modeling a subset of weak memory, which will enable
detection of a subset of data races due to missing memory barriers.
KCSAN's approach to detecting missing memory barriers is based on
modeling access reordering, and enabled if `CONFIG_KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY=y`,
which depends on `CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y`. The feature can be enabled or
disabled at boot and runtime via the `kcsan.weak_memory` boot parameter.
Each memory access for which a watchpoint is set up, is also selected
for simulated reordering within the scope of its function (at most 1
in-flight access).
We are limited to modeling the effects of "buffering" (delaying the
access), since the runtime cannot "prefetch" accesses (therefore no
acquire modeling). Once an access has been selected for reordering, it
is checked along every other access until the end of the function scope.
If an appropriate memory barrier is encountered, the access will no
longer be considered for reordering.
When the result of a memory operation should be ordered by a barrier,
KCSAN can then detect data races where the conflict only occurs as a
result of a missing barrier due to reordering accesses.

If CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y, select CONFIG_KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER as well.
With interruptible watchers, we'll also report same-CPU data races; if
we requested strict mode, we might as well show these, too.

Rework atomic.h into permissive.h to better reflect its purpose, and
introduce kcsan_ignore_address() and kcsan_ignore_data_race().
Introduce CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE and update the stub functions in
preparation for subsequent changes.
As before, developers who choose to use KCSAN in "strict" mode will see
all data races and are not affected. Furthermore, by relying on the
value-change filter logic for kcsan_ignore_data_race(), even if the
permissive rules are enabled, the opt-outs in report.c:skip_report()
override them (such as for RCU-related functions by default).
The option CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE is disabled by default, so that the
documented default behaviour of KCSAN does not change. Instead, like
CONFIG_KCSAN_IGNORE_ATOMICS, the option needs to be explicitly opted in.

By this point CONFIG_KCSAN_DEBUG is pretty useless, as the system just
isn't usable with it due to spamming console (I imagine a randconfig
test robot will run into this sooner or later). Remove it.
Back in 2019 I used it occasionally to record traces of watchpoints and
verify the encoding is correct, but these days we have proper tests. If
something similar is needed in future, just add it back ad-hoc.

GCC version 11 recently implemented all requirements to correctly
support KCSAN:
1. Correct no_sanitize-attribute inlining behaviour:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=4089df8ef4a63126b0774c39b6638845244c20d2
2. --param=tsan-distinguish-volatile
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=ab2789ec507a94f1a75a6534bca51c7b39037ce0
3. --param=tsan-instrument-func-entry-exit
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=06712fc68dc9843d9af7c7ac10047f49d305ad76
Therefore, we can re-enable GCC for KCSAN, and document the new compiler
requirements.

The first version of Clang that supports -tsan-distinguish-volatile will
be able to support KCSAN. The first Clang release to do so, will be
Clang 11. This is due to satisfying all the following requirements:
1. Never emit calls to __tsan_func_{entry,exit}.
2. __no_kcsan functions should not call anything, not even
kcsan_{enable,disable}_current(), when using __{READ,WRITE}_ONCE => Requires
leaving them plain!
3. Support atomic_{read,set}*() with KCSAN, which rely on
arch_atomic_{read,set}*() using __{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() => Because of
#2, rely on Clang 11's -tsan-distinguish-volatile support. We will
double-instrument atomic_{read,set}*(), but that's reasonable given
it's still lower cost than the data_race() variant due to avoiding 2
extra calls (kcsan_{en,dis}able_current() calls).
4. __always_inline functions inlined into __no_kcsan functions are never
instrumented.
5. __always_inline functions inlined into instrumented functions are
instrumented.
6. __no_kcsan_or_inline functions may be inlined into __no_kcsan functions =>
Implies leaving 'noinline' off of __no_kcsan_or_inline.
7. Because of #6, __no_kcsan and __no_kcsan_or_inline functions should never be
spuriously inlined into instrumented functions, causing the accesses of the
__no_kcsan function to be instrumented.
Older versions of Clang do not satisfy #3. The latest GCC currently
doesn't support at least #1, #3, and #7.

Clang does not allow -fsanitize-coverage=trace-{pc,cmp} together
with -fsanitize=bounds or with ubsan:
clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-fsanitize-coverage=trace-cmp' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
To avoid the warning, check whether clang can handle this correctly or
disallow ubsan and kcsan when kcov is enabled.

Add option to allow interrupts while a watchpoint is set up. This can be
enabled either via CONFIG_KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER or via the boot
parameter 'kcsan.interrupt_watcher=1'.
Note that, currently not all safe per-CPU access primitives and patterns
are accounted for, which could result in false positives. For example,
asm-generic/percpu.h uses plain operations, which by default are
instrumented. On interrupts and subsequent accesses to the same
variable, KCSAN would currently report a data race with this option.
Therefore, this option should currently remain disabled by default, but
may be enabled for specific test scenarios.
To avoid new warnings, changes all uses of smp_processor_id() to use the
raw version (as already done in kcsan_found_watchpoint()). The exact SMP
processor id is for informational purposes in the report, and
correctness is not affected.

The KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT access type may be used to introduce dummy reads
and writes to assert certain properties of concurrent code, where bugs
could not be detected as normal data races.
For example, a variable that is only meant to be written by a single
CPU, but may be read (without locking) by other CPUs must still be
marked properly to avoid data races. However, concurrent writes,
regardless if WRITE_ONCE() or not, would be a bug. Using
kcsan_check_access(&x, sizeof(x), KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT) would allow
catching such bugs.
To support KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT the following notable changes were made:
* If an access is of type KCSAN_ASSERT_ACCESS, disable various filters
that only apply to data races, so that all races that KCSAN observes are
reported.
* Bug reports that involve an ASSERT access type will be reported as
"KCSAN: assert: race in ..." instead of "data-race"; this will help
more easily distinguish them.
* Update a few comments to just mention 'races' where we do not always
mean pure data races.

This patch cleans up the rules of the 'KCSAN' Kconfig option by:
1. implicitly selecting 'STACKTRACE' instead of depending on it;
2. depending on DEBUG_KERNEL, to avoid accidentally turning KCSAN on if
the kernel is not meant to be a debug kernel;
3. updating the short and long summaries.

KCSAN data-race reports can occur quite frequently, so much so as
to render the system useless. This commit therefore adds support for
time-based rate-limiting KCSAN reports, with the time interval specified
by a new KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS Kconfig option. The default is 3000
milliseconds, also known as three seconds.
Because KCSAN must detect data races in allocators and in other contexts
where use of allocation is ill-advised, a fixed-size array is used to
buffer reports during each reporting interval. To reduce the number of
reports lost due to array overflow, this commit stores only one instance
of duplicate reports, which has the benefit of further reducing KCSAN's
console output rate.

Tidy up a few bits:
- Fix typos and grammar, improve wording.
- Remove spurious newlines that are col80 warning artifacts where the
resulting line-break is worse than the disease it's curing.
- Use core kernel coding style to improve readability and reduce
spurious code pattern variations.
- Use better vertical alignment for structure definitions and initialization
sequences.
- Misc other small details.
No change in functionality intended.

Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic data-race detector for
kernel space. KCSAN is a sampling watchpoint-based data-race detector.
See the included Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst for more details.
This patch adds basic infrastructure, but does not yet enable KCSAN for
any architecture.
