[PATCH v3 1/2] kcsan: Instrument memcpy/memset/memmove with newer Clang

From: Marco Elver
Date: Mon Sep 12 2022 - 05:45:59 EST


With Clang version 16+, -fsanitize=thread will turn
memcpy/memset/memmove calls in instrumented functions into
__tsan_memcpy/__tsan_memset/__tsan_memmove calls respectively.

Add these functions to the core KCSAN runtime, so that we (a) catch data
races with mem* functions, and (b) won't run into linker errors with
such newer compilers.

v3:
* Truncate sizes larger than MAX_ENCODABLE_SIZE, so we still set up
watchpoints on them. Iterating through MAX_ENCODABLE_SIZE blocks may
result in pathological cases where performance would seriously suffer.
So let's avoid that for now.
* Just use memcpy/memset/memmove instead of __mem*() functions. Many
architectures that already support KCSAN don't define them (mips,
s390), and having both __mem* and mem versions of the functions
provides little benefit elsewhere; and backporting would become more
difficult, too. The compiler should not inline them given all
parameters are non-constants here.

v2:
* Fix for architectures which do not provide their own
memcpy/memset/memmove and instead use the generic versions in
lib/string. In this case we'll just alias the __tsan_ variants.
