Subject: fastpath_t?  __no_kcsan? Both?

Hello!

I get the following conflict when rebasing 39a8c47635b0 ("kvm/svm:
Disable KCSAN for svm_vcpu_run()") onto v5.8-rc1:

<<<<<<< 6c410247efb2d3907b508a2448ab9ab1c86d938c
static fastpath_t svm_vcpu_run(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
=======
static __no_kcsan void svm_vcpu_run(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
>>>>>>> kvm/svm: Disable KCSAN for svm_vcpu_run()

The "natural" resolution would be this:

static fastpath_t __no_kcsan void svm_vcpu_run(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)

But does that make sense?

I have dropped this commit for the time being.  Please either
let me know the proper resolution or submit a fresh patch,
your choice.

						Thanx, Paul

    kvm/svm: Disable KCSAN for svm_vcpu_run()
    
    For some reasons, running a simple qemu-kvm command with KCSAN will
    reset AMD hosts. It turns out svm_vcpu_run() could not be instrumented.
    This commit therefore disables it for now.
