    kcsan: Restrict supported compilers · 0e1aa5b6
    Marco Elver authored
    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 => Requires
       leaving them plain!
    
    3. Support atomic_{read,set}*() with KCSAN, which rely on
       arch_atomic_{read,set}*() using __{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() => 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 =>
       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.
