Subject: [PATCH] kmsan: compiler_types: declare __no_sanitize_or_inline

It turned out that KMSAN instruments READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(), resulting in
false positive reports, because __no_sanitize_or_inline enforced inlining.

Properly declare __no_sanitize_or_inline under __SANITIZE_MEMORY__,
so that it does not inline the annotated function.

Maybe worth noting that this is only a problem for __always_inline,
since that is inlining-by-force, and from the compiler's point of view
WAI.

I'll add

And I think a cc:stable is justifiable. A Fixes: target would be nice?

As Marco noted above, we may want to rephrase it as:

Properly declare __no_sanitize_or_inline under __SANITIZE_MEMORY__,
so that it does not __always_inline the annotated function.

Let me know if I need to send a v2.

Agreed.

> A Fixes: target would be nice?

Hmm, the introduction of READ_ONCE_NOCHECK predates KMSAN.
We could do:
Fixes: 5de0ce85f5a4d ("kmsan: mark noinstr as __no_sanitize_memory")

, because that commit should have introduced __no_sanitize_or_inline for KMSAN.
