<content type='text'>
Per recently added KUnit style recommendations at
Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/style.rst, make the following changes to
the KCSAN test:

	1. Rename 'kcsan-test.c' to 'kcsan_test.c'.

	2. Rename suite name 'kcsan-test' to 'kcsan'.

	3. Rename CONFIG_KCSAN_TEST to CONFIG_KCSAN_KUNIT_TEST and
	   default to KUNIT_ALL_TESTS.

Changes kcsan-test module to support checking reports that include
compound instrumentation. Since we should not fail the test if this
support is unavailable, we have to add a config variable that the test
can use to decide what to check for.

GCC version 11 recently implemented all requirements to correctly
support KCSAN:

1. Correct no_sanitize-attribute inlining behaviour:
   https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=4089df8ef4a63126b0774c39b6638845244c20d2

2. --param=tsan-distinguish-volatile
   https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=ab2789ec507a94f1a75a6534bca51c7b39037ce0

3. --param=tsan-instrument-func-entry-exit
   https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=06712fc68dc9843d9af7c7ac10047f49d305ad76

Therefore, we can re-enable GCC for KCSAN, and document the new compiler
requirements.

The first version of Clang that supports -tsan-distinguish-volatile will
be able to support KCSAN. The first Clang release to do so, will be
Clang 11. This is due to satisfying all the following requirements:

1. Never emit calls to __tsan_func_{entry,exit}.

2. __no_kcsan functions should not call anything, not even
   kcsan_{enable,disable}_current(), when using __{READ,WRITE}_ONCE =&gt; Requires
   leaving them plain!

3. Support atomic_{read,set}*() with KCSAN, which rely on
   arch_atomic_{read,set}*() using __{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() =&gt; Because of
   #2, rely on Clang 11's -tsan-distinguish-volatile support. We will
   double-instrument atomic_{read,set}*(), but that's reasonable given
   it's still lower cost than the data_race() variant due to avoiding 2
   extra calls (kcsan_{en,dis}able_current() calls).

4. __always_inline functions inlined into __no_kcsan functions are never
   instrumented.

5. __always_inline functions inlined into instrumented functions are
   instrumented.

6. __no_kcsan_or_inline functions may be inlined into __no_kcsan functions =&gt;
   Implies leaving 'noinline' off of __no_kcsan_or_inline.

7. Because of #6, __no_kcsan and __no_kcsan_or_inline functions should never be
   spuriously inlined into instrumented functions, causing the accesses of the
   __no_kcsan function to be instrumented.

Older versions of Clang do not satisfy #3. The latest GCC currently
doesn't support at least #1, #3, and #7.

with -fsanitize=bounds or with ubsan:

  clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

<title>kcsan: Add option to allow watcher interruptions</title>

<content type='text'>
Add option to allow interrupts while a watchpoint is set up. This can be
enabled either via CONFIG_KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER or via the boot
parameter 'kcsan.interrupt_watcher=1'.

Note that, currently not all safe per-CPU access primitives and patterns
are accounted for, which could result in false positives. For example,
asm-generic/percpu.h uses plain operations, which by default are
instrumented. On interrupts and subsequent accesses to the same
variable, KCSAN would currently report a data race with this option.

Therefore, this option should currently remain disabled by default, but
may be enabled for specific test scenarios.

To avoid new warnings, changes all uses of smp_processor_id() to use the
raw version (as already done in kcsan_found_watchpoint()). The exact SMP
processor id is for informational purposes in the report, and
correctness is not affected.

<title>kcsan: Introduce KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT access type</title>
<updated>2020-03-21T08:42:50+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=d591ec3db75f9eadfa7976ff8796c674c0027715'/>
<id>d591ec3db75f9eadfa7976ff8796c674c0027715</id>
<content type='text'>
The KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT access type may be used to introduce dummy reads
and writes to assert certain properties of concurrent code, where bugs
could not be detected as normal data races.

For example, a variable that is only meant to be written by a single
CPU, but may be read (without locking) by other CPUs must still be
marked properly to avoid data races. However, concurrent writes,
regardless if WRITE_ONCE() or not, would be a bug. Using
kcsan_check_access(&amp;x, sizeof(x), KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT) would allow
catching such bugs.

To support KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT the following notable changes were made:

  * If an access is of type KCSAN_ASSERT_ACCESS, disable various filters
    that only apply to data races, so that all races that KCSAN observes are
    reported.
  * Bug reports that involve an ASSERT access type will be reported as
    "KCSAN: assert: race in ..." instead of "data-race"; this will help
    more easily distinguish them.
  * Update a few comments to just mention 'races' where we do not always
    mean pure data races.

The KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT access type may be used to introduce dummy reads
and writes to assert certain properties of concurrent code, where bugs
could not be detected as normal data races.

For example, a variable that is only meant to be written by a single
CPU, but may be read (without locking) by other CPUs must still be
marked properly to avoid data races. However, concurrent writes,
regardless if WRITE_ONCE() or not, would be a bug. Using
kcsan_check_access(&amp;x, sizeof(x), KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT) would allow
catching such bugs.

To support KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT the following notable changes were made:

  * If an access is of type KCSAN_ASSERT_ACCESS, disable various filters
    that only apply to data races, so that all races that KCSAN observes are
    reported.
  * Bug reports that involve an ASSERT access type will be reported as
    "KCSAN: assert: race in ..." instead of "data-race"; this will help
    more easily distinguish them.
  * Update a few comments to just mention 'races' where we do not always
    mean pure data races.
