[GIT PULL kcsan] KCSAN commits for v5.15

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Aug 11 2021 - 20:14:01 EST


Hello, Ingo,

This pull request contains updates for the Kernel concurrency sanitizer
(KCSAN).

These updates improve comments, introduce CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT (which RCU
uses), optimize use of get_ctx() by kcsan_found_watchpoint(), rework
atomic.h into permissive.h, and add the ability to ignore writes that
change only one bit of a given data-racy variable.

These updates have been posted on LKML:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210721210726.GA828672@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1/

These changes are based on v5.14-rc2, have been exposed to -next and to
kbuild test robot, and are available in the Git repository at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git kcsan
