The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN)
========================================
Overview
--------
*Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN)* is a dynamic data race detector for
kernel space. KCSAN is a sampling watchpoint-based data race detector. Key
priorities in KCSAN's design are lack of false positives, scalability, and
simplicity. More details can be found in `Implementation Details`_.
KCSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to instrument memory accesses. KCSAN is
supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires version 7.3.0 or later.
With Clang it requires version 7.0.0 or later.
The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic race detector, which

overall system performance and race detection ability.

Larger values result in the window in which we may observe a race to

interrupts, the microsecond delay to stall execution after a watchpoint has
been set up. Interrupts have tighter latency requirements, and their delay
should generally be smaller than the one chosen for tasks.
They may be tweaked at runtime via ``/sys/module/kcsan/parameters/``.
Data Races
----------
Informally, two operations *conflict* if they access the same memory location,
and at least one of them is a write operation. In an execution, two memory
operations from different threads form a **data race** if they *conflict*, at
least one of them is a *plain access* (non-atomic), and they are *unordered* in
the "happens-before" order according to the `LKMM
<../../tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt>`_.
In an execution, two memory accesses form a *data race* if they *conflict*,
they happen concurrently in different threads, and at least one of them is a
*plain access*; they *conflict* if both access the same memory location, and at
least one is a write. For a more thorough discussion and definition, see `"Plain
Accesses and Data Races" in the LKMM`_.
Relationship with the Linux Kernel Memory Model (LKMM)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. _"Plain Accesses and Data Races" in the LKMM: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt#n1922
Relationship with the Linux-Kernel Memory Consistency Model (LKMM)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The LKMM defines the propagation and ordering rules of various memory
operations, which gives developers the ability to reason about concurrent code.
Ultimately this allows to determine the possible executions of concurrent code,
and if that code is free from data races.
KCSAN is aware of *atomic* accesses (``READ_ONCE``, ``WRITE_ONCE``,
``atomic_*``, etc.), but is oblivious of any ordering guarantees. In other
words, KCSAN assumes that as long as a plain access is not observed to race
with another conflicting access, memory operations are correctly ordered.
KCSAN is aware of *marked atomic operations* (``READ_ONCE``, ``WRITE_ONCE``,
``atomic_*``, etc.), but is oblivious of any ordering guarantees and simply
assumes that memory barriers are placed correctly. In other words, KCSAN
assumes that as long as a plain access is not observed to race with another
conflicting access, memory operations are correctly ordered.
This means that KCSAN will not report *potential* data races due to missing
memory ordering. If, however, missing memory ordering (that is observable with
a particular compiler and architecture) leads to an observable data race (e.g.
entering a critical section erroneously), KCSAN would report the resulting
data race.
memory ordering. Developers should therefore carefully consider the required
memory ordering requirements that remain unchecked. If, however, missing
memory ordering (that is observable with a particular compiler and
architecture) leads to an observable data race (e.g. entering a critical
section erroneously), KCSAN would report the resulting data race.
Race conditions vs. data races
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Race Detection Beyond Data Races
--------------------------------
Race conditions are logic bugs, where unexpected interleaving of racing
concurrent operations result in an erroneous state.
For code with complex concurrency design, race-condition bugs may not always
manifest as data races. Race conditions occur if concurrently executing
operations result in unexpected system behaviour. On the other hand, data races
are defined at the C-language level. The following macros can be used to check
properties of concurrent code where bugs would not manifest as data races.
Data races on the other hand are defined at the *memory model/language level*.
Many data races are also harmful race conditions, which a tool like KCSAN
reports! However, not all data races are race conditions and vice-versa.
KCSAN's intent is to report data races according to the LKMM. A data race
detector can only work at the memory model/language level.
Deeper analysis, to find high-level race conditions only, requires conveying
the intended kernel logic to a tool. This requires (1) the developer writing a
specification or model of their code, and then (2) the tool verifying that the
implementation matches. This has been done for small bits of code using model
checkers and other formal methods, but does not scale to the level of what can
be covered with a dynamic analysis based data race detector such as KCSAN.
For reasons outlined in this `article <https://lwn.net/Articles/793253/>`_,
data races can be much more subtle, but can cause no less harm than high-level
race conditions.

Implementation Details
----------------------
The general approach is inspired by `DataCollider
KCSAN relies on observing that two accesses happen concurrently. Crucially, we
want to (a) increase the chances of observing races (especially for races that
manifest rarely), and (b) be able to actually observe them. We can accomplish
(a) by injecting various delays, and (b) by using address watchpoints (or
breakpoints).
If we deliberately stall a memory access, while we have a watchpoint for its
address set up, and then observe the watchpoint to fire, two accesses to the
same address just raced. Using hardware watchpoints, this is the approach taken
in `DataCollider
<http://usenix.org/legacy/events/osdi10/tech/full_papers/Erickson.pdf>`_.
Unlike DataCollider, KCSAN does not use hardware watchpoints, but instead
relies on compiler instrumentation. Watchpoints are implemented using an
efficient encoding that stores access type, size, and address in a long; the
benefits of using "soft watchpoints" are portability and greater flexibility in
limiting which accesses trigger a watchpoint.

More specifically, KCSAN requires instrumenting plain (unmarked, non-atomic)
memory operations; for each instrumented plain access:
In KCSAN, watchpoints are implemented using an efficient encoding that stores
access type, size, and address in a long; the benefits of using "soft
watchpoints" are portability and greater flexibility. KCSAN then relies on the
compiler instrumenting plain accesses. For each instrumented plain access:
1. Check if a matching watchpoint exists; if yes, and at least one access is a
write, then we encountered a racing access.
2. Periodically, if no matching watchpoint exists, set up a watchpoint and
stall for a small delay.
stall for a small randomized delay.
3. Also check the data value before the delay, and re-check the data value
after delay; if the values mismatch, we infer a race of unknown origin.
To detect data races between plain and atomic memory operations, KCSAN also
annotates atomic accesses, but only to check if a watchpoint exists
(``kcsan_check_atomic_*``); i.e. KCSAN never sets up a watchpoint on atomic
accesses.
To detect data races between plain and marked accesses, KCSAN also annotates
marked accesses, but only to check if a watchpoint exists; i.e. KCSAN never
sets up a watchpoint on marked accesses. By never setting up watchpoints for
marked operations, if all accesses to a variable that is accessed concurrently
are properly marked, KCSAN will never trigger a watchpoint and therefore never
report the accesses.

to encode watchpoint information, which is negligible.

An alternative data race detection approach for the kernel can be found in the
`Kernel Thread Sanitizer (KTSAN) <https://github.com/google/ktsan/wiki>`_.
KTSAN is a happens-before data race detector, which explicitly establishes the
happens-before order between memory operations, which can then be used to
determine data races as defined in `Data Races`_. To build a correct
happens-before relation, KTSAN must be aware of all ordering rules of the LKMM
and synchronization primitives. Unfortunately, any omission leads to false
positives, which is especially important in the context of the kernel which
includes numerous custom synchronization mechanisms. Furthermore, KTSAN's

The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic race detector,

The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic
data-race detector that relies on compile-time instrumentation.
KCSAN uses a watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect races.
KCSAN's primary purpose is to detect data races. KCSAN can also be
used to check properties, with the help of provided assertions, of
concurrent code where bugs do not manifest as data races.
While KCSAN's primary purpose is to detect data races, it
also provides assertions to check data access constraints.
These assertions can expose bugs that do not manifest as
data races.

While this option should generally be benign, we call into more
