Marco Elver ac4766be5e kasan: update required compiler versions in documentation
Updates the recently changed compiler requirements for KASAN.  In
particular, we require GCC >= 8.3.0, and add a note that Clang 11 supports
OOB detection of globals.

 - Add a generic kunit_resource API extending it to support resources
   that are passed in to kunit in addition kunit allocated resources. In
   addition, KUnit resources are now refcounted to avoid passed in
   resources being released while in use by kunit.

 - Add support for named resources.

Perhaps the most important change is that GCC 11 now has all fixes in place
to support KCSAN, so GCC support can be enabled again.

David Gow 39f65da092 Documentation: kunit: Remove references to --defconfig
The --defconfig option in kunit_tool was removed in [1], but the getting
started and kunit_tool documentation still encouraged its use. Update
those documents to reflect that it's no-longer required, and is the
default behaviour if no .kunitconfig is found.

Also update a couple of places where .kunitconfig is still referred to
as kunitconfig (this was changed in [2]).

	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions

Luc Van Oostenryck 1cb3863af6 doc: add link to sparse's home page/internal docs
Sparse's home page used to be a wiki (sparse.wiki.kernel.org)
but this wiki only contained a short intro and the release notes.
But nowadays, sparse's main page is sparse.docs.kernel.org,
which contains all what was in the wiki but also other documentation,
mainly oriented about sparse's internals.

So, add a link to this in the kernel documentation.

Marco Elver e68dcd8eac kcsan: Re-add GCC as a supported compiler
GCC version 11 recently implemented all requirements to correctly
support KCSAN:

1. Correct no_sanitize-attribute inlining behaviour:
   https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=4089df8ef4a63126b0774c39b6638845244c20d2

2. --param=tsan-distinguish-volatile
   https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=ab2789ec507a94f1a75a6534bca51c7b39037ce0

3. --param=tsan-instrument-func-entry-exit
   https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=06712fc68dc9843d9af7c7ac10047f49d305ad76

Therefore, we can re-enable GCC for KCSAN, and document the new compiler
requirements.
