Subject: [PATCH v3] arm64: Enable KCSAN

This patch enables KCSAN for arm64, with updates to build rules
to not use KCSAN for several incompatible compilation units.

Resent GCC version(at least GCC10) made outline-atomics as the
default option(unlike Clang), which will cause linker errors
for kernel/kcsan/core.o. Disables the out-of-line atomics by
no-outline-atomics to fix the linker errors.

Meanwhile, as Mark said[1], there is a specific issue on arm64
about ARM64_BTI with Clang 11 if KCSAN enabled, which is fixed
by Clang 12, add CLANG_VERSION check. And also some latent issues
are need to be fixed which isn't just a KCSAN problem, we make
the KCSAN depends on EXPERT for now.

Tested selftest and kcsan_test(built with GCC11 and Clang 13),
and all passed.

Please use lore/kernel.org permalinks. For this one it'd be:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YadiUPpJ0gADbiHQ@FVFF77S0Q05N

(But I think if this is the final version of the patch, hopefully a
maintainer can amend the commit message.)

is still valid, given nothing changed there. I leave the rest to Mark.

I want to do some compiler / config testing before I ack this (just to
make sure there isn't some latent issue I've forgotten about), but
otherwise I think this should be fine.

I'll try to have that done in the next few days.

Any other review/testing would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Mark.

This particular case is fixed by Mark's thread flag series [1], which is in linux-next now.

I do not think this addition is necessary because we make BTI depend on
clang 12 or newer after commit 8cdd23c23c3d ("arm64: Restrict
ARM64_BTI_KERNEL to clang 12.0.0 and newer") upstream. I figured it was
better to go after the root cause rather than add a bunch of version
checks like this to the various sanitizers.

As Nathan points, commit 8cdd23c23c3d ("arm64: Restrict ARM64_BTI_KERNEL

to clang 12.0.0 and newer"), so need to add Clang version check, which
is v2 does.

is there some other requirement that we need this check, what's your option,

thanks.

I'm not immediately aware of another reason, so I'm fine with not checking that
