Subject: Please can I have a stable KCSAN branch for 5.8?

Hi TIP folks,

I'm looking to rebase my READ_ONCE() series [1] on top of the KCSAN patches
so that we can get them in for 5.8. However, tip/locking/kcsan seems to be
missing some bits:

* An update to checkpatch.pl to warn about missing comments for
data_race():

https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

* I'm unable to apply these two patches from Marco that are needed for
my READ_ONCE() work:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

I think these depend on stuff that has been queued by Paul, and appears
in linux-next, but to be honest with you I'm quite confused about what
is queued for 5.8 and what isn't.

What's the best base for me to use?

Cheers,

Will

For some reason, I thought this was going up some other tree, but I do
not see it in -next. So unless I hear otherwise, I will pull it into
the v5.8 kcsan branch.

This one is queued, but I currently have it in the v5.9 pile (but
tentatively for v5.8). Unless Marco tells me otherwise, I will move it
to the v5.8 branch, which will be part of my pull request next week.

> What's the best base for me to use?

The -next tree has the latter, but not yet the former.

Hopefully we can get this straightened out, and please accept my apologies
for the hassle!

Thanx, Paul

Just confirming that I don't see any issues with the plan -- the
patches that Will needs are good to go into the v5.8 branch.

OK, I have updated -rcu's kcsan and kcsan-dev branches. Could you please
double-check, given that pull-request time is quite soon?

Great, then this would all show up on tip/locking/kscan, right?

That probably means -next is good enough for me to cook a new version of my
series, and then I can make a proper branch next week.

No need to apologise, I just couldn't figure out what was what and decided
it was easier to ask the experts ;)

Cheers again,

I believe "objtool, kcsan: Add kcsan_disable_current() and
kcsan_enable_current_nowarn()" is missing, which should go after
"kcsan: Add __kcsan_{enable,disable}_current() variants".

And it is moved. FYI, I will likely be sending my KCSAN pull request
