[PATCH kcsan 18/19] bitops, kcsan: Partially revert instrumentation for non-atomic bitops

[paulmck@kernel.org]

From: Marco Elver <elver@google.com>

Previous to the change to distinguish read-write accesses, when
CONFIG_KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC=y is set, KCSAN would consider
the non-atomic bitops as atomic. We want to partially revert to this
behaviour, but with one important distinction: report racing
modifications, since lost bits due to non-atomicity are certainly
possible.

Given the operations here only modify a single bit, assuming
non-atomicity of the writer is sufficient may be reasonable for certain
usage (and follows the permissible nature of the "assume plain writes
atomic" rule). In other words:

	1. We want non-atomic read-modify-write races to be reported;
	   this is accomplished by kcsan_check_read(), where any
	   concurrent write (atomic or not) will generate a report.

	2. We do not want to report races with marked readers, but -do-
	   want to report races with unmarked readers; this is
	   accomplished by the instrument_write() ("assume atomic
	   write" with Kconfig option set).

With the above rules, when KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC is selected,
it is hoped that KCSAN's reporting behaviour is better aligned with
current expected permissible usage for non-atomic bitops.

Note that, a side-effect of not telling KCSAN that the accesses are
read-writes, is that this information is not displayed in the access
summary in the report. It is, however, visible in inline-expanded stack
traces. For now, it does not make sense to introduce yet another special
case to KCSAN's runtime, only to cater to the case here.
