To improve the general usefulness of the IRQ state trace events with
KCSAN enabled, save and restore the trace information when entering and
exiting the KCSAN runtime as well as when generating a KCSAN report.
Without this, reporting the IRQ trace events (whether via a KCSAN report
or outside of KCSAN via a lockdep report) is rather useless due to
continuously being touched by KCSAN. This is because if KCSAN is
enabled, every instrumented memory access causes changes to IRQ trace
events (either by KCSAN disabling/enabling interrupts or taking
report_lock when generating a report).
Before "lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking", KCSAN avoided
touching the IRQ trace events via raw_local_irq_save/restore() and
lockdep_off/on().

The new IRQ state tracking code does not honor lockdep_off(), and as
such we should again permit tracing by using non-raw functions in
core.c. Update the lockdep_off() comment in report.c, to reflect the
fact there is still a potential risk of deadlock due to using printk()
from scheduler code.

In the kernel, the "volatile" keyword is used in various concurrent
contexts, whether in low-level synchronization primitives or for
legacy reasons. If supported by the compiler, it will be assumed
that aligned volatile accesses up to sizeof(long long) (matching
compiletime_assert_rwonce_type()) are atomic.
Recent versions of Clang [1] (GCC tentative [2]) can instrument
volatile accesses differently. Add the option (required) to enable the
instrumentation, and provide the necessary runtime functions. None of
the updated compilers are widely available yet (Clang 11 will be the
first release to support the feature).

This adds support for scoped accesses, where the memory range is checked
for the duration of the scope. The feature is implemented by inserting
the relevant access information into a list of scoped accesses for
the current execution context, which are then checked (until removed)
on every call (through instrumentation) into the KCSAN runtime.
An alternative, more complex, implementation could set up a watchpoint for
the scoped access, and keep the watchpoint set up. This, however, would
require first exposing a handle to the watchpoint, as well as dealing
with cases such as accesses by the same thread while the watchpoint is
still set up (and several more cases). It is also doubtful if this would
provide any benefit, since the majority of delay where the watchpoint
is set up is likely due to the injected delays by KCSAN. Therefore,
the implementation in this patch is simpler and avoids hurting KCSAN's
main use-case (normal data race detection); it also implicitly increases
scoped-access race-detection-ability due to increased probability of
setting up watchpoints by repeatedly calling __kcsan_check_access()
throughout the scope of the access.
The implementation required adding an additional conditional branch to
the fast-path. However, the microbenchmark showed a *speedup* of ~5%
on the fast-path. This appears to be due to subtly improved codegen by
GCC from moving get_ctx() and associated load of preempt_count earlier.

To avoid deadlock in case watchers can be interrupted, we need to ensure
that producers of the struct other_info can never be blocked by an
unrelated consumer. (Likely to occur with KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER.)
There are several cases that can lead to this scenario, for example:
1. A watchpoint A was set up by task T1, but interrupted by
interrupt I1. Some other thread (task or interrupt) finds
watchpoint A consumes it, and sets other_info. Then I1 also
finds some unrelated watchpoint B, consumes it, but is blocked
because other_info is in use. T1 cannot consume other_info
because I1 never returns -> deadlock.
2. A watchpoint A was set up by task T1, but interrupted by
interrupt I1, which also sets up a watchpoint B. Some other
thread finds watchpoint A, and consumes it and sets up
other_info with its information. Similarly some other thread
finds watchpoint B and consumes it, but is then blocked because
other_info is in use. When I1 continues it sees its watchpoint
was consumed, and that it must wait for other_info, which
currently contains information to be consumed by T1. However, T1
cannot unblock other_info because I1 never returns -> deadlock.
To avoid this, we need to ensure that producers of struct other_info
always have a usable other_info entry. This is obviously not the case
with only a single instance of struct other_info, as concurrent
producers must wait for the entry to be released by some consumer (which
may be locked up as illustrated above).
While it would be nice if producers could simply call kmalloc() and
append their instance of struct other_info to a list, we are very
limited in this code path: since KCSAN can instrument the allocators
themselves, calling kmalloc() could lead to deadlock or corrupted
allocator state.
Since producers of the struct other_info will always succeed at
try_consume_watchpoint(), preceding the call into kcsan_report(), we
know that the particular watchpoint slot cannot simply be reused or
consumed by another potential other_info producer. If we move removal of
a watchpoint after reporting (by the consumer of struct other_info), we
can see a consumed watchpoint as a held lock on elements of other_info,
if we create a one-to-one mapping of a watchpoint to an other_info
element.
Therefore, the simplest solution is to create an array of struct
other_info that is as large as the watchpoints array in core.c, and pass
the watchpoint index to kcsan_report() for producers and consumers, and
change watchpoints to be removed after reporting is done.
With a default config on a 64-bit system, the array other_infos consumes
~37KiB. For most systems today this is not a problem. On smaller memory
constrained systems, the config value CONFIG_KCSAN_NUM_WATCHPOINTS can
be reduced appropriately.
Overall, this change is a simplification of the prepare_report() code,
and makes some of the checks (such as checking if at least one access is
a write) redundant.
Tested:
$ tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh \
--cpus 12 --duration 10 --kconfig "CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y \
CONFIG_KCSAN=y CONFIG_KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC=n \

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.

Furthermore, since KCSAN relies on udelay() to introduce delay, we have
to disable ftrace for udelay() (currently done for x86) in case KCSAN is
used together with lockdep and ftrace. The reason is that it may corrupt
lockdep IRQ flags tracing state due to a peculiar case of recursion

This introduces ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(var, mask).
ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(var, mask) will cause KCSAN to assume that the

docbook comment for disclaimer here).

In particular, before this patch, data races between reads (that use
@mask bits of an access that should not be modified concurrently) and
writes (that change ~@mask bits not used by the readers) would have been
annotated with "data_race()" (or "READ_ONCE()"). However, doing so would
then hide real problems: we would no longer be able to detect harmful
races between reads to @mask bits and writes to @mask bits.
Therefore, by using ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(var, mask), we accomplish:
1. Avoid proliferation of specific macros at the call sites: by
including a single mask in the argument list, we can use the same
macro in a wide variety of call sites, regardless of how and which
bits in a field each call site actually accesses.
2. The existing code does not need to be modified (although READ_ONCE()
may still be advisable if we cannot prove that the data race is
always safe).
3. We catch bugs where the exclusive bits are modified concurrently.
4. We document properties of the current code.

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

Because KCSAN must detect data races in allocators and in other contexts

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.
