You still need CONFIG_KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER=y, but otherwise looks
good.

I thought I'd leave that out for now, but now thinking about it, we
might as well imply interruptible watchers. If you agree, feel free to
queue the below patch ahead of yours.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] kcsan: Make strict mode imply interruptible watchers

If CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y, select CONFIG_KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER as well.

With interruptible watchers, we'll also report same-CPU data races; if
we requested strict mode, we might as well show these, too.
