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.
