tools/memory-model: Add data-race detection
This patch adds data-race detection to the Linux-Kernel Memory Model. As part of this effort, support is added for: compiler barriers (the barrier() function), and a new Preserved Program Order term: (addr ; [Plain] ; wmb) Data races are marked with a special Flag warning in herd. It is not guaranteed that the model will provide accurate predictions when a data race is present. The patch does not include documentation for the data-race detection facility. The basic design has been explained in various emails, and a separate documentation patch will be submitted later. This work is based on an earlier formulation of data races for the LKMM by Andrea Parri.
