kcsan: Add support for scoped accesses This adds support for scoped accesses, where the memory range is checked for the duration of the scope. The feature is implemented by inserting the relevant access information into a list of scoped accesses for the current execution context, which are then checked (until removed) on every call (through instrumentation) into the KCSAN runtime. An alternative, more complex, implementation could set up a watchpoint for the scoped access, and keep the watchpoint set up. This, however, would require first exposing a handle to the watchpoint, as well as dealing with cases such as accesses by the same thread while the watchpoint is still set up (and several more cases). It is also doubtful if this would provide any benefit, since the majority of delay where the watchpoint is set up is likely due to the injected delays by KCSAN. Therefore, the implementation in this patch is simpler and avoids hurting KCSAN's main use-case (normal data race detection); it also implicitly increases scoped-access race-detection-ability due to increased probability of setting up watchpoints by repeatedly calling __kcsan_check_access() throughout the scope of the access. The implementation required adding an additional conditional branch to the fast-path. However, the microbenchmark showed a *speedup* of ~5% on the fast-path. This appears to be due to subtly improved codegen by GCC from moving get_ctx() and associated load of preempt_count earlier. Suggested-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Paul E.

For more context on why this was considered necessary, please see: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1580995070-25139-1-git-send-email-cai@lca.pw In particular, before this patch, data races between reads (that use @mask bits of an access that should not be modified concurrently) and writes (that change ~@mask bits not used by the readers) would have been annotated with "data_race()" (or "READ_ONCE()"). However, doing so would then hide real problems: we would no longer be able to detect harmful races between reads to @mask bits and writes to @mask bits. Therefore, by using ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(var, mask), we accomplish: 1. Avoid proliferation of specific macros at the call sites: by including a single mask in the argument list, we can use the same macro in a wide variety of call sites, regardless of how and which bits in a field each call site actually accesses. 2. The existing code does not need to be modified (although READ_ONCE() may still be advisable if we cannot prove that the data race is always safe). 3.

kcsan: Introduce ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(var, mask) This introduces ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(var, mask). ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(var, mask) will cause KCSAN to assume that the following access is safe w.r.t. data races (however, please see the docbook comment for disclaimer here). For more context on why this was considered necessary, please see: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1580995070-25139-1-git-send-email-cai@lca.pw In particular, before this patch, data races between reads (that use @mask bits of an access that should not be modified concurrently) and writes (that change ~@mask bits not used by the readers) would have been annotated with "data_race()" (or "READ_ONCE()"). However, doing so would then hide real problems: we would no longer be able to detect harmful races between reads to @mask bits and writes to @mask bits. Therefore, by using ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(var, mask), we accomplish: 1. Avoid proliferation of specific macros at the call sites: by including a single mask in the argument list, we can use the same macro in a wide variety of call sites, regardless of how and which bits in a field each call site actually accesses. 2. The existing code does not need to be modified (although READ_ONCE() may still be advisable if we cannot prove that the data race is always safe). 3. We catch bugs where the exclusive bits are modified concurrently. 4. We document properties of the current code.

* therefore safe, even in the presence of data races, and marking it with
