KCSAN instruments calls to atomic builtins, and will in turn call these
builtins itself. As such, architectures supporting KCSAN must have
compiler support for these atomic primitives.

Since 32-bit systems are unlikely to have 64-bit compiler builtins,
provide a stub for each missing builtin, and use BUG() to assert
unreachability.

In commit 725aea873261 ("xtensa: enable KCSAN"), xtensa implements these
locally. Move these definitions to be accessible to all 32-bit
architectures that do not provide the necessary builtins, with opt in
for PowerPC and xtensa.

This series should also be addressed to KCSAN Maintainers, shouldn't it ?

Previously issued as a part of a patch series adding KCSAN support to
64-bit.

v1: Remove __has_builtin check, as gcc is not obligated to inline
builtins detected using this check, but instead is permitted to supply
them in libatomic:
Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108734
Instead, opt-in PPC32 and xtensa.

Not sure it is acceptable to do it that way.

There should likely be something like a CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_KCSAN_STUBS in 
KCSAN's Kconfig then PPC32 and XTENSA should select it.
The longer I think about it, since these stubs all BUG() anyway, perhaps
we ought to just avoid them altogether. If you delete all the stubs from
ppc and xtensa, but do this:

Does that work?
This makes much more sense. Rather than assume that kcsan is the only
consumer of __atomic_*_8, and stubbing accordingly, we should just
remove its mention from relevant sub-archs.
