Pull KUnit updates from Shuah Khan:
 "Several fixes, cleanups, and enhancements to tests and framework:

   - introduce _NULL and _NOT_NULL macros to pointer error checks

   - rework kunit_resource allocation policy to fix memory leaks when
     caller doesn't specify free() function to be used when allocating
     memory using kunit_add_resource() and kunit_alloc_resource() funcs.

   - add ability to specify suite-level init and exit functions"

Use the newly added suite_{init,exit} support for suite-wide init and
cleanup. This avoids the unsupported method by which the test used to do
suite-wide init and cleanup (avoiding issues such as missing TAP
headers, and possible future conflicts).

Per PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, checking CONFIG_PREEMPT doesn't tell you the actual
preemption model of the live kernel. Use the newly-introduced accessors
instead.

<content type='text'>
This patch enables KCSAN for arm64, with updates to build rules
to not use KCSAN for several incompatible compilation units.

Recent GCC version(at least GCC10) made outline-atomics as the
default option(unlike Clang), which will cause linker errors
for kernel/kcsan/core.o. Disables the out-of-line atomics by
no-outline-atomics to fix the linker errors.

Meanwhile, as Mark said[1], some latent issues are needed to be
fixed which isn't just a KCSAN problem, we make the KCSAN depends
on EXPERT for now.

Tested selftest and kcsan_test(built with GCC11 and Clang 13),
and all passed.

Some architectures do not define clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte().
Only test it when it is actually defined (similar to other usage, such
as in lib/test_kasan.c).

Nested contexts, such as nested interrupts or scheduler code, share the
same kcsan_ctx. When such a nested context reads an inconsistent
reorder_access due to an interrupt during set_reorder_access(), we can
observe the following warning:

The warning is telling us that there was a data race which KCSAN wants
to report, but the function where the original access (that is now
reordered) happened cannot be found in the stack trace, which prevents
KCSAN from generating the right stack trace. The stack trace of "write
(reordered)" now only shows where the access was reordered to, but
should instead show the stack trace of the original write, with a final
line saying "reordered to".

At the point where set_reorder_access() is interrupted, it just set
reorder_access-&gt;ptr and size, at which point size is non-zero. This is
sufficient (if ctx-&gt;disable_scoped is zero) for further accesses from
nested contexts to perform checking of this reorder_access.

That then happened in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave(), which is called by
scheduler code. However, since reorder_access-&gt;ip is still stale (ptr
and size belong to a different ip not yet set) this finally leads to
replace_stack_entry() not finding the frame in reorder_access-&gt;ip and
generating the above warning.

Fix it by ensuring that a nested context cannot access reorder_access
while we update it in set_reorder_access(): set ctx-&gt;disable_scoped for
the duration that reorder_access is updated, which effectively locks
reorder_access and prevents concurrent use by nested contexts. Note,
set_reorder_access() can do the update only if disabled_scoped is zero
on entry, and must therefore set disable_scoped back to non-zero after
the initial check in set_reorder_access().

<title>kcsan: Make barrier tests compatible with lockdep</title>

The barrier tests in selftest and the kcsan_test module only need the
spinlock and mutex to test correct barrier instrumentation. Therefore,
these were initially placed on the stack.

However, lockdep asserts that locks are in static storage, and will
generate this warning:

 | INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 | The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
 | you didn't initialize this object before use?
 | turning off the locking correctness validator.
 | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.16.0-rc1+ #3208

 |  ...
 |  test_barrier+0x490/0x14c7
 |  kcsan_selftest+0x47/0xa0
 |  ...

To fix, move the test locks into static storage.

Fixing the above also revealed that lock operations are strengthened on
first use with lockdep enabled, due to lockdep calling out into
non-instrumented files (recall that kernel/locking/lockdep.c is not
instrumented with KCSAN).

Only kcsan_test checks for over-instrumentation of *_lock() operations,
where we can simply "warm up" the test locks to avoid the test case
failing with lockdep.

Memory barrier instrumentation is crucial to avoid false positives. To
avoid surprises, run a simple test case in the boot-time selftest to
ensure memory barriers are still instrumented correctly.
