This adds early_boot, udelay_{task,interrupt}, and skip_watch as module
params. The latter parameters are useful to modify at runtime to tune
KCSAN's performance on new systems. This will also permit auto-tuning
these parameters to maximize overall system performance and KCSAN's race
detection ability.
None of the parameters are used in the fast-path and referring to them
via static variables instead of CONFIG constants will not affect
performance.

Add 'test=<iters>' option to KCSAN's debugfs interface to invoke KCSAN
checks on a dummy variable. By writing 'test=<iters>' to the debugfs
file from multiple tasks, we can generate real conflicts, and trigger
data race reports.

Introduces ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_WRITER() and ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS(), which
may be used to assert properties of synchronization logic, where
violation cannot be detected as a normal data race.
Examples of the reports that may be generated:
==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: assert: race in test_thread / test_thread
write to 0xffffffffab3d1540 of 8 bytes by task 466 on cpu 2:
test_thread+0x8d/0x111
debugfs_write.cold+0x32/0x44
...
assert no writes to 0xffffffffab3d1540 of 8 bytes by task 464 on cpu 0:
test_thread+0xa3/0x111
debugfs_write.cold+0x32/0x44
...
==================================================================
==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: assert: race in test_thread / test_thread
assert no accesses to 0xffffffffab3d1540 of 8 bytes by task 465 on cpu 1:

debugfs_write.cold+0x32/0x44
...
read to 0xffffffffab3d1540 of 8 bytes by task 464 on cpu 0:

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.

Instrumentation of arbitrary memory-copy functions, such as user-copies,
may be called with size of 0, which could lead to false positives.
To avoid this, add a comparison in check_access() for size==0, which
will be optimized out for constant sized instrumentation
(__tsan_{read,write}N), and therefore not affect the common-case
fast-path.

This patch cleans up the rules of the 'KCSAN' Kconfig option by:
1. implicitly selecting 'STACKTRACE' instead of depending on it;
2. depending on DEBUG_KERNEL, to avoid accidentally turning KCSAN on if
the kernel is not meant to be a debug kernel;
3. updating the short and long summaries.

This adds option KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC. If enabled, plain
aligned writes up to word size are assumed to be atomic, and also not
subject to other unsafe compiler optimizations resulting in data races.
This option has been enabled by default to reflect current kernel-wide
preferences.

This replaces the KASAN instrumentation with generic instrumentation,
implicitly adding KCSAN instrumentation support.
For KASAN no functional change is intended.
