From bd3d5bd1a0ad386475ea7a3de8a91e7d8a600536 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Elver Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2021 12:44:33 +0100 Subject: 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.
