bool "Do not instrument marked atomic accesses"
help
If enabled, never instruments marked atomic accesses. This results in
not reporting data races where one access is atomic and the other is
a plain access.
Never instrument marked atomic accesses. This option can be used for
additional filtering. Conflicting marked atomic reads and plain
writes will never be reported as a data race, however, will cause
plain reads and marked writes to result in "unknown origin" reports.
If combined with CONFIG_KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN=n, data
races where at least one access is marked atomic will never be
reported.
Similar to KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC, but including unaligned
accesses, conflicting marked atomic reads and plain writes will not
be reported as data races; however, unlike that option, data races
due to two conflicting plain writes will be reported (aligned and
unaligned, if CONFIG_KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC=n).
