[PATCH kcsan 05/29] kcsan: Add core memory barrier instrumentation functions

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Dec 14 2021 - 17:05:24 EST


From: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add the core memory barrier instrumentation functions. These invalidate
the current in-flight reordered access based on the rules for the
respective barrier types and in-flight access type.

To obtain barrier instrumentation that can be disabled via __no_kcsan
with appropriate compiler-support (and not just with objtool help),
barrier instrumentation repurposes __atomic_signal_fence(), instead of
inserting explicit calls. Crucially, __atomic_signal_fence() normally
does not map to any real instructions, but is still intercepted by
fsanitize=thread. As a result, like any other instrumentation done by
the compiler, barrier instrumentation can be disabled with __no_kcsan.

Unfortunately Clang and GCC currently differ in their __no_kcsan aka
__no_sanitize_thread behaviour with respect to builtin atomics (and
__tsan_func_{entry,exit}) instrumentation. This is already reflected in
Kconfig.kcsan's dependencies for KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY. A later change will
introduce support for newer versions of Clang that can implement
__no_kcsan to also remove the additional instrumentation introduced by
KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY.
