Merge tag 'kcsan.2022.01.09a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu
Pull KCSAN updates from Paul McKenney: "This provides KCSAN fixes and also the ability to take memory barriers into account for weakly-ordered systems. This last can increase the probability of detecting certain types of data races" * tag 'kcsan.2022.01.09a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: (29 commits) kcsan: Only test clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte if arch defines it kcsan: Avoid nested contexts reading inconsistent reorder_access kcsan: Turn barrier instrumentation into macros kcsan: Make barrier tests compatible with lockdep kcsan: Support WEAK_MEMORY with Clang where no objtool support exists compiler_attributes.h: Add __disable_sanitizer_instrumentation objtool, kcsan: Remove memory barrier instrumentation from noinstr objtool, kcsan: Add memory barrier instrumentation to whitelist sched, kcsan: Enable memory barrier instrumentation mm, kcsan: Enable barrier instrumentation x86/qspinlock, kcsan: Instrument barrier of pv_queued_spin_unlock() x86/barriers, kcsan: Use generic instrumentation for non-smp barriers asm-generic/bitops, kcsan: Add instrumentation for barriers locking/atomics, kcsan: Add instrumentation for barriers locking/barriers, kcsan: Support generic instrumentation locking/barriers, kcsan: Add instrumentation for barriers kcsan: selftest: Add test case to check memory barrier instrumentation kcsan: Ignore GCC 11+ warnings about TSan runtime support kcsan: test: Add test cases for memory barrier instrumentation kcsan: test: Match reordered or normal accesses ...
