[PATCH 1/3] kcsan: Re-add GCC as a supported compiler

[Marco Elver]

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.

For anyone interested to try it out before GCC 11 is released, I'd
recommend building a stable GCC 10 with the patches applied:

	git clone git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git && cd gcc
	git checkout -b gcc-10-for-kcsan releases/gcc-10.1.0
	git cherry-pick \
		4089df8ef4a63126b0774c39b6638845244c20d2 \
		ab2789ec507a94f1a75a6534bca51c7b39037ce0 \
		06712fc68dc9843d9af7c7ac10047f49d305ad76
	./configure --prefix <your-prefix> --enable-languages=c,c++
	make -j$(nproc) && make install
