Subject: [PATCH kcsan 29/32] kcsan: Add current->state to implicitly atomic accesses
From: Marco Elver <elver@...gle.com>
Add volatile current->state to list of implicitly atomic accesses. This
is in preparation to eventually enable KCSAN on kernel/sched (which
currently still has KCSAN_SANITIZE := n).
Since accesses that match the special check in atomic.h are rare, it
makes more sense to move this check to the slow-path, avoiding the
additional compare in the fast-path. With the microbenchmark, a speedup
of ~6% is measured.
