Marco Elver f97f713dc2 kcsan: Introduce ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_*() macros
Introduces ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_WRITER() and ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS(), which
may be used to assert properties of synchronization logic, where
violation cannot be detected as a normal data race.

Examples of the reports that may be generated:

    ==================================================================
    BUG: KCSAN: assert: race in test_thread / test_thread

    write to 0xffffffffab3d1540 of 8 bytes by task 466 on cpu 2:
     test_thread+0x8d/0x111
     debugfs_write.cold+0x32/0x44
     ...

    assert no writes to 0xffffffffab3d1540 of 8 bytes by task 464 on cpu 0:
     test_thread+0xa3/0x111
     debugfs_write.cold+0x32/0x44

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 Restructured Text 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.
