As "kcsan: Support detecting a subset of missing memory barriers"[1]
introduced KCSAN_STRICT/KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY which make kcsan detects
more missing memory barrier, but arm64 don't have KCSAN instrumentation
for barriers, so the new selftest test_barrier() and test cases for
memory barrier instrumentation in kcsan_test module will fail, even
panic on selftest.
Let's prefix all barriers with __ on arm64, as asm-generic/barriers.h
defined the final instrumented version of these barriers, which will
fix the above issues.
Note, barrier instrumentation that can be disabled via __no_kcsan with
appropriate compiler-support (and not just with objtool help), see
commit bd3d5bd1a0 ("kcsan: Support WEAK_MEMORY with Clang where no
objtool support exists"), it adds disable_sanitizer_instrumentation to
__no_kcsan attribute which will remove all sanitizer instrumentation fully
(with Clang 14.0). Meanwhile, GCC does the same thing with no_sanitize.

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.
