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.

Even with KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY, KCSAN still reports data
races between reads and watchpointed writes, even if the writes wrote
values already present. This commit causes KCSAN to unconditionally
skip reporting in this case.

We must avoid any recursion into lockdep if KCSAN is enabled on utilities
used by lockdep. One manifestation of this is corruption of lockdep's
IRQ trace state (if TRACE_IRQFLAGS), resulting in spurious warnings
(see below). This commit fixes this by:
1. Using raw_local_irq{save,restore} in kcsan_setup_watchpoint().
2. Disabling lockdep in kcsan_report().
Tested with:
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS=y
This fix eliminates spurious warnings such as the following one:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4406 check_flags.part.0+0x101/0x220

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.

This commit adds access-type information to KCSAN's reports as follows:
"read", "read (marked)", "write", and "write (marked)".

Prefer __always_inline for fast-path functions that are called outside
of user_access_save, to avoid generating UACCESS warnings when
optimizing for size (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE). It will also avoid future
surprises with compiler versions that change the inlining heuristic even
when optimizing for performance.

Tidy up a few bits:
- Fix typos and grammar, improve wording.
- Remove spurious newlines that are col80 warning artifacts where the
resulting line-break is worse than the disease it's curing.
- Use core kernel coding style to improve readability and reduce
spurious code pattern variations.
- Use better vertical alignment for structure definitions and initialization
sequences.
- Misc other small details.
No change in functionality intended.

Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic data-race detector for
kernel space. KCSAN is a sampling watchpoint-based data-race detector.
See the included Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst for more details.
This patch adds basic infrastructure, but does not yet enable KCSAN for
any architecture.
