kcsan: select CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS

Building a kcsan enabled kernel for x86_64 with gcc-11 results in a lot
of build warnings or errors without CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS:

x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/copy_mc.o'
x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/cpu.o'

x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/insn.o'
x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/misc.o'

The same thing has been reported for mips64. I can't reproduce it for
any other compiler version, so I don't know if constructors are always
required here or if this is a gcc-11 specific implementation detail.

I see no harm in always enabling constructors here, and this reliably
fixes the build warnings for me.

kcsan: Support WEAK_MEMORY with Clang where no objtool support exists

Clang and GCC behave a little differently when it comes to the
__no_sanitize_thread attribute, which has valid reasons, and depending
on context either one could be right.

Traditionally, user space ThreadSanitizer [1] still expects instrumented
builtin atomics (to avoid false positives) and __tsan_func_{entry,exit}
(to generate meaningful stack traces), even if the function has the
attribute no_sanitize("thread").

[1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.html#attribute-no-sanitize-thread

GCC doesn't follow the same policy (for better or worse), and removes
all kinds of instrumentation if no_sanitize is added. Arguably, since
this may be a problem for user space ThreadSanitizer, we expect this may
change in future.

Since KCSAN != ThreadSanitizer, the likelihood of false positives even
without barrier instrumentation everywhere, is much lower by design.

At least for Clang, however, to fully remove all sanitizer
instrumentation, we must add the disable_sanitizer_instrumentation
attribute, which is available since Clang 14.0.

kcsan: Add core support for a subset of weak memory modeling

Add support for modeling a subset of weak memory, which will enable
detection of a subset of data races due to missing memory barriers.

KCSAN's approach to detecting missing memory barriers is based on
modeling access reordering, and enabled if `CONFIG_KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY=y`,
which depends on `CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y`. The feature can be enabled or
disabled at boot and runtime via the `kcsan.weak_memory` boot parameter.

Each memory access for which a watchpoint is set up, is also selected
for simulated reordering within the scope of its function (at most 1
in-flight access).

We are limited to modeling the effects of "buffering" (delaying the
access), since the runtime cannot "prefetch" accesses (therefore no
acquire modeling). Once an access has been selected for reordering, it
is checked along every other access until the end of the function scope.
If an appropriate memory barrier is encountered, the access will no
longer be considered for reordering.

When the result of a memory operation should be ordered by a barrier,
KCSAN can then detect data races where the conflict only occurs as a
result of a missing barrier due to reordering accesses.

kcsan: Rework atomic.h into permissive.h

Rework atomic.h into permissive.h to better reflect its purpose, and
introduce kcsan_ignore_address() and kcsan_ignore_data_race().

Introduce CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE and update the stub functions in
preparation for subsequent changes.

As before, developers who choose to use KCSAN in "strict" mode will see
all data races and are not affected. Furthermore, by relying on the
value-change filter logic for kcsan_ignore_data_race(), even if the
permissive rules are enabled, the opt-outs in report.c:skip_report()
override them (such as for RCU-related functions by default).

The option CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE is disabled by default, so that the
documented default behaviour of KCSAN does not change. Instead, like
CONFIG_KCSAN_IGNORE_ATOMICS, the option needs to be explicitly opted in.

kcsan: Re-add GCC as a supported compiler

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.

kcsan: Restrict supported compilers

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.

kcsan: Add option to allow watcher interruptions

Add option to allow interrupts while a watchpoint is set up. This can be
enabled either via CONFIG_KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER or via the boot
parameter 'kcsan.interrupt_watcher=1'.

Note that, currently not all safe per-CPU access primitives and patterns
are accounted for, which could result in false positives. For example,
asm-generic/percpu.h uses plain operations, which by default are
instrumented. On interrupts and subsequent accesses to the same
variable, KCSAN would currently report a data race with this option.

Therefore, this option should currently remain disabled by default, but
may be enabled for specific test scenarios.

To avoid new warnings, changes all uses of smp_processor_id() to use the
raw version (as already done in kcsan_found_watchpoint()). The exact SMP
processor id is for informational purposes in the report, and
correctness is not affected.

kcsan: Introduce KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT access type

The KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT access type may be used to introduce dummy reads
and writes to assert certain properties of concurrent code, where bugs
could not be detected as normal data races.

For example, a variable that is only meant to be written by a single
CPU, but may be read (without locking) by other CPUs must still be
marked properly to avoid data races. However, concurrent writes,
regardless if WRITE_ONCE() or not, would be a bug. Using
kcsan_check_access(&x, sizeof(x), KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT) would allow
catching such bugs.

To support KCSAN_ACCESS_ASSERT the following notable changes were made:

* If an access is of type KCSAN_ASSERT_ACCESS, disable various filters
that only apply to data races, so that all races that KCSAN observes are
reported.
* Bug reports that involve an ASSERT access type will be reported as
"KCSAN: assert: race in ..." instead of "data-race"; this will help
more easily distinguish them.
* Update a few comments to just mention 'races' where we do not always
mean pure data races.

kcsan: Rate-limit reporting per data races

KCSAN data-race reports can occur quite frequently, so much so as
to render the system useless. This commit therefore adds support for
time-based rate-limiting KCSAN reports, with the time interval specified
by a new KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS Kconfig option. The default is 3000
milliseconds, also known as three seconds.

Because KCSAN must detect data races in allocators and in other contexts
where use of allocation is ill-advised, a fixed-size array is used to
buffer reports during each reporting interval. To reduce the number of
reports lost due to array overflow, this commit stores only one instance
of duplicate reports, which has the benefit of further reducing KCSAN's
console output rate.
