Alan Maguire d14871ce0b kcsan, compiler_types: avoid duplicate type issues in BPF Type Format 
[ Upstream commit 9dc052234d ]

Enabling KCSAN is causing a large number of duplicate types in BTF for
core kernel structs like task_struct [1].  This is due to the definition
in include/linux/compiler_types.h

`#ifdef __SANITIZE_THREAD__
...
`#define __data_racy volatile
..
`#else
...
`#define __data_racy
...
`#endif

Because some objects in the kernel are compiled without KCSAN flags
(KCSAN_SANITIZE) we sometimes get the empty __data_racy annotation for
objects; as a result we get multiple conflicting representations of the
associated structs in DWARF, and these lead to multiple instances of core
kernel types in BTF since they cannot be deduplicated due to the
additional modifier in some instances.

Moving the __data_racy definition under CONFIG_KCSAN avoids this problem,
since the volatile modifier will be present for both KCSAN and
KCSAN_SANITIZE objects in a CONFIG_KCSAN=y kernel.

README 

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.
