There are several problems with the current annotations (AnnotateRWLockCreate and friends):
- they don't fully support deadlock detection (we need a hook _before_ mutex lock)
- they don't support insertion of random artificial delays to perturb execution (again we need a hook _before_ mutex lock)
- they don't support setting extended mutex attributes like read/write reentrancy (only "linker init" was bolted on)
- they don't support setting mutex attributes if a mutex don't have a "constructor" (e.g. static, Java, Go mutexes)
- they don't ignore synchronization inside of lock/unlock operations which leads to slowdown and false negatives
The new annotations solve of the above problems. See tsan_interface.h for the interface specification and comments.

As discussed with Dmitry (https://goo.gl/SA4izd), I would like to introduce a function to be called from a third-party library to flush the shadow memory.
In particular, we ran some experiments with our tool Archer (an OpenMP data race detector based on Tsan, https://github.com/PRUNER/archer) and flushing the memory at the end of an outer parallel region, slightly increase the runtime overhead, but reduce the memory overhead of about 30%. This feature would come very handy in case of very large OpenMP applications that may cause an "out of memory" exception when checked with Tsan.

This change adds a Python script that is invoked for
the just-built sanitizer runtime to generate the list of exported symbols
passed to the linker. By default, it contains interceptors and sanitizer
interface functions, but can be extended with tool-specific lists.
