From d31d4d6bb256c3e784709e4aaf075de87c3390fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Elver Date: Thu, 21 May 2020 16:20:40 +0200 Subject: kcsan: Pass option tsan-instrument-read-before-write to Clang Clang (unlike GCC) removes reads before writes with matching addresses in the same basic block. This is an optimization for TSAN, since writes will always cause conflict if the preceding read would have. However, for KCSAN we cannot rely on this option, because we apply several special rules to writes, in particular when the KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC option is selected. To avoid missing potential data races, pass the -tsan-instrument-read-before-write option to Clang if it is available [1].
