Kees Cook 79cc1ba7ba panic: Consolidate open-coded panic_on_warn checks
Several run-time checkers (KASAN, UBSAN, KFENCE, KCSAN, sched) roll
their own warnings, and each check "panic_on_warn". Consolidate this
into a single function so that future instrumentation can be added in
a single location.

Mark RutlandandPaul E. McKenney 7bbe6dc0ad kcsan: Report observed value changes
When a thread detects that a memory location was modified without its
watchpoint being hit, the report notes that a change was detected, but
does not provide concrete values for the change. Knowing the concrete
values can be very helpful in tracking down any racy writers (e.g. as
specific values may only be written in some portions of code, or under
certain conditions).

When we detect a modification, let's report the concrete old/new values,
along with the access's mask of relevant bits (and which relevant bits
were modified). This can make it easier to identify potential racy
writers. As the snapshots are at most 8 bytes, we can only report values
for acceses up to this size, but this appears to cater for the common
case.

When we detect a race via a watchpoint, we may or may not have concrete
values for the modification. To be helpful, let's attempt to log them
when we do as they can be ignored where irrelevant.

The resulting reports appears as follows, with values zero-padded to the
access width:

Mark RutlandandPaul E. McKenney 609f809746 kcsan: Remove kcsan_report_type
Now that the reporting code has been refactored, it's clear by
construction that print_report() can only be passed
KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_SIGNAL or KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN, and these
can also be distinguished by the presence of `other_info`.

Let's simplify things and remove the report type enum, and instead let's
check `other_info` to distinguish these cases. This allows us to remove
code for cases which are impossible and generally makes the code simpler.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Now that we have separate kcsan_report_*() functions, we can factor the
distinct logic for each of the report cases out of kcsan_report(). While
this means each case has to handle mutual exclusion independently, this
minimizes the conditionality of code and makes it easier to read, and
will permit passing distinct bits of information to print_report() in
future.

Mark RutlandandPaul E. McKenney 95f7524d7f kcsan: Refactor passing watchpoint/other_info
The `watchpoint_idx` argument to kcsan_report() isn't meaningful for
races which were not detected by a watchpoint, and it would be clearer
if callers passed the other_info directly so that a NULL value can be
passed in this case.

Given that callers manipulate their watchpoints before passing the index
into kcsan_report_*(), and given we index the `other_infos` array using
this before we sanity-check it, the subsequent sanity check isn't all
that useful.

Let's remove the `watchpoint_idx` sanity check, and move the job of
finding the `other_info` out of kcsan_report().

Other than the removal of the check, there should be no functional
change as a result of this patch.

Mark RutlandandPaul E. McKenney 793c2579be kcsan: Distinguish kcsan_report() calls
Currently kcsan_report() is used to handle three distinct cases:

* The caller hit a watchpoint when attempting an access. Some
  information regarding the caller and access are recorded, but no
  output is produced.

* A caller which previously setup a watchpoint detected that the
  watchpoint has been hit, and possibly detected a change to the
  location in memory being watched. This may result in output reporting
  the interaction between this caller and the caller which hit the
  watchpoint.

* A caller detected a change to a modification to a memory location
  which wasn't detected by a watchpoint, for which there is no
  information on the other thread. This may result in output reporting
  the unexpected change.

... depending on the specific case the caller has distinct pieces of
information available, but the prototype of kcsan_report() has to handle
all three cases. This means that in some cases we pass redundant
information, and in others we don't pass all the information we could
pass. This also means that the report code has to demux these three
cases.

So that we can pass some additional information while also simplifying
the callers and report code, add separate kcsan_report_*() functions for
the distinct cases, updating callers accordingly. As the watchpoint_idx
is unused in the case of kcsan_report_unknown_origin(), this passes a
dummy value into kcsan_report(). Subsequent patches will refactor the
report code to avoid this.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Marco ElverandPaul E. McKenney 14e2ac8de0 kcsan: Support compounded read-write instrumentation
Add support for compounded read-write instrumentation if supported by
the compiler. Adds the necessary instrumentation functions, and a new
type which is used to generate a more descriptive report.

Furthermore, such compounded memory access instrumentation is excluded
from the "assume aligned writes up to word size are atomic" rule,
because we cannot assume that the compiler emits code that is atomic for
compound ops.

LLVM/Clang added support for the feature in:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/785d41a261d136b64ab6c15c5d35f2adc5ad53e3

The new instrumentation is emitted for sets of memory accesses in the
same basic block to the same address with at least one read appearing
before a write. These typically result from compound operations such as
++, --, +=, -=, |=, &=, etc. but also equivalent forms such as "var =
var + 1". Where the compiler determines that it is equivalent to emit a
call to a single __tsan_read_write instead of separate __tsan_read and
__tsan_write, we can then benefit from improved performance and better
reporting for such access patterns.

The new reports now show that the ops are both reads and writes, for
example:

	read-write to 0xffffffff90548a38 of 8 bytes by task 143 on cpu 3:
	 test_kernel_rmw_array+0x45/0xa0
	 access_thread+0x71/0xb0
	 kthread+0x21e/0x240
	 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

	read-write to 0xffffffff90548a38 of 8 bytes by task 144 on cpu 2:
	 test_kernel_rmw_array+0x45/0xa0
	 access_thread+0x71/0xb0

Marco ElverandIngo Molnar 92c209ac6d kcsan: Improve IRQ state trace reporting
To improve the general usefulness of the IRQ state trace events with
KCSAN enabled, save and restore the trace information when entering and
exiting the KCSAN runtime as well as when generating a KCSAN report.

Without this, reporting the IRQ trace events (whether via a KCSAN report
or outside of KCSAN via a lockdep report) is rather useless due to
continuously being touched by KCSAN. This is because if KCSAN is
enabled, every instrumented memory access causes changes to IRQ trace
events (either by KCSAN disabling/enabling interrupts or taking
report_lock when generating a report).

Before "lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking", KCSAN avoided
touching the IRQ trace events via raw_local_irq_save/restore() and
lockdep_off/on().

Marco ElverandPaul E. McKenney 757a4cefde kcsan: Add support for scoped accesses
This adds support for scoped accesses, where the memory range is checked
for the duration of the scope. The feature is implemented by inserting
the relevant access information into a list of scoped accesses for
the current execution context, which are then checked (until removed)
on every call (through instrumentation) into the KCSAN runtime.

An alternative, more complex, implementation could set up a watchpoint for
the scoped access, and keep the watchpoint set up. This, however, would
require first exposing a handle to the watchpoint, as well as dealing
with cases such as accesses by the same thread while the watchpoint is
still set up (and several more cases). It is also doubtful if this would
provide any benefit, since the majority of delay where the watchpoint
is set up is likely due to the injected delays by KCSAN.  Therefore,
the implementation in this patch is simpler and avoids hurting KCSAN's
main use-case (normal data race detection); it also implicitly increases
scoped-access race-detection-ability due to increased probability of
setting up watchpoints by repeatedly calling __kcsan_check_access()
throughout the scope of the access.

The implementation required adding an additional conditional branch to
the fast-path. However, the microbenchmark showed a *speedup* of ~5%
on the fast-path. This appears to be due to subtly improved codegen by
GCC from moving get_ctx() and associated load of preempt_count earlier.
