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.

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.
