[PATCH v3 25/25] kcsan: Support WEAK_MEMORY with Clang where no objtool support exists

[Marco Elver <elver@google.com>]

Clang and GCC behave a little differently when it comes to the
__no_sanitize_thread attribute, which has valid reasons, and depending
on context either one could be right.

Traditionally, user space ThreadSanitizer [1] still expects instrumented
builtin atomics (to avoid false positives) and __tsan_func_{entry,exit}
(to generate meaningful stack traces), even if the function has the
attribute no_sanitize("thread").

[1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.html#attribute-no-sanitize-thread

GCC doesn't follow the same policy (for better or worse), and removes
all kinds of instrumentation if no_sanitize is added. Arguably, since
this may be a problem for user space ThreadSanitizer, we expect this may
change in future.

Since KCSAN != ThreadSanitizer, the likelihood of false positives even
without barrier instrumentation everywhere, is much lower by design.

At least for Clang, however, to fully remove all sanitizer
instrumentation, we must add the disable_sanitizer_instrumentation
attribute, which is available since Clang 14.0.
