[ Upstream commit 71a076f4a61a6c779794ad286f356b39725edc3b ]
Rewrite kcsan_prandom_u32_max() to not depend on code that might be
instrumented, removing any dependency on lib/random32.c. The rewrite
implements a simple linear congruential generator, that is sufficient
for our purposes (for udelay() and skip_watch counter randomness).
The initial motivation for this was to allow enabling KCSAN for
kernel/sched (remove KCSAN_SANITIZE := n from kernel/sched/Makefile),
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y. Without this change, we could observe
recursion:
check_access() [via instrumentation]
kcsan_setup_watchpoint()
reset_kcsan_skip()
kcsan_prandom_u32_max()
get_cpu_var()
preempt_disable()
preempt_count_add() [in kernel/sched/core.c]
check_access() [via instrumentation]
Note, while this currently does not affect an unmodified kernel, it'd be
good to keep a KCSAN kernel working when KCSAN_SANITIZE := n is removed
from kernel/sched/Makefile to permit testing scheduler code with KCSAN
if desired.

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.
