Linus Torvalds c07ea940a0 kcsan: Introduce __data_racy type qualifier
This commit adds a __data_racy type qualifier that enables kernel
 developers to inform KCSAN that a given variable is a shared variable
 without needing to mark each and every access.  This allows pre-KCSAN
 code to be correctly (if approximately) instrumented withh very little
 effort, and also provides people reading the code a clear indication that
 the variable is in fact shared.  In addition, it permits incremental
 transition to per-access KCSAN marking, so that (for example) a given
 subsystem can be transitioned one variable at a time, while avoiding
 large numbers of KCSAN warnings during this transition.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
