[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 11/15] powerpc/kcsan: Exclude udelay to prevent recursive instrumentation

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2023-03-05 13:55:26
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

From: Rohan McLure <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 2a7ce82dc46c591c9244057d89a6591c9639b9b9 ]

In order for KCSAN to increase its likelihood of observing a data race,
it sets a watchpoint on memory accesses and stalls, allowing for
detection of conflicting accesses by other kernel threads or interrupts.

Stalls are implemented by injecting a call to udelay in instrumented code.
To prevent recursive instrumentation, exclude udelay from being instrumented.
