Dmitry Vyukov a35353bb9e locking/atomic, asm-generic: Add KASAN instrumentation to atomic operations
KASAN uses compiler instrumentation to intercept all memory accesses. But it does
not see memory accesses done in assembly code. One notable user of assembly code
is atomic operations. Frequently, for example, an atomic reference decrement is
the last access to an object and a good candidate for a racy use-after-free.

Add manual KASAN checks to atomic operations.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
