[PATCH 0/8] Add Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN)

[Marco Elver]

This is the patch-series for the Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN).
KCSAN is a sampling watchpoint-based data-race detector. More details
are included in Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst. This patch-series
only enables KCSAN for x86, but we expect adding support for other
architectures is relatively straightforward (we are aware of
experimental ARM64 and POWER support).

To gather early feedback, we announced KCSAN back in September, and
have integrated the feedback where possible:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/CANpmjNPJ_bHjfLZCAPV23AXFfiPiyXXqqu72n6TgWzb2Gnu1eA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We want to point out and acknowledge the work surrounding the LKMM,
including several articles that motivate why data-races are dangerous
[1, 2], justifying a data-race detector such as KCSAN.

[2] https://lwn.net/Articles/799218/

The current list of known upstream fixes for data-races found by KCSAN
can be found here:
