2018-03-12	locking/atomic, asm-generic, x86: Add comments for atomic instrumentation	Dmitry Vyukov	1	-0/+21
	The comments are factored out from the code changes to make them easier to read. Add them separately to explain some non-obvious aspects.

2018-03-12	locking/atomic, asm-generic: Add KASAN instrumentation to atomic operations	Dmitry Vyukov	1	-0/+62
	KASAN uses compiler instrumentation to intercept all memory accesses. But it does not see memory accesses done in assembly code. One notable user of assembly code is atomic operations. Frequently, for example, an atomic reference decrement is the last access to an object and a good candidate for a racy use-after-free. Add manual KASAN checks to atomic operations.

2018-03-12	locking/atomic, asm-generic: Add asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h	Dmitry Vyukov	1	-0/+393
	The new header allows to wrap per-arch atomic operations and add common functionality to all of them.
