To avoid inserting __tsan_func_{entry,exit}, add option if supported by
compiler. Currently only Clang can be told to not emit calls to these
functions. It is safe to not emit these, since KCSAN does not rely on
them.
Note that, if we disable __tsan_func_{entry,exit}(), we need to disable
tail-call optimization in sanitized compilation units, as otherwise we
may skip frames in the stack trace; in particular when the tail called
function is one of the KCSAN's runtime functions, and a report is
generated, we might miss the function where the actual access occurred.
Since __tsan_func_{entry,exit}() insertion effectively disabled
tail-call optimization, there should be no observable change.
This was caught and confirmed with kcsan-test & UNWINDER_ORC.

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.
