The comments are factored out from the code changes to make them
easier to read. Add them separately to explain some non-obvious
aspects.

locking/atomic, asm-generic: Add KASAN instrumentation to atomic operations2018-03-12T11:15:35+00:00Dmitry Vyukovdvyukov@google.com2018-01-29T17:26:06+00:00urn:sha1:a35353bb9eb1990a44a0d7585f99e9589bcdb682
KASAN uses compiler instrumentation to intercept all memory accesses. But it does
not see memory accesses done in assembly code. One notable user of assembly code
is atomic operations. Frequently, for example, an atomic reference decrement is
the last access to an object and a good candidate for a racy use-after-free.
Add manual KASAN checks to atomic operations.

locking/atomic, asm-generic: Add asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h2018-03-12T11:15:27+00:00Dmitry Vyukovdvyukov@google.com2018-01-29T17:26:04+00:00urn:sha1:b06ed71a624ba088a3e3e3ac7d4185f48c7c1660
The new header allows to wrap per-arch atomic operations
and add common functionality to all of them.
