[PATCH v4 02/10] include/linux/compiler.h: Introduce data_race(expr) macro

[Marco Elver]

This introduces the data_race(expr) macro, which can be used to annotate
expressions for purposes of (1) documenting, and (2) giving tooling such
as KCSAN information about which data races are deemed "safe".
