This adds option KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC. If enabled, plain aligned writes up to word size are assumed to be atomic, and also not subject to other unsafe compiler optimizations resulting in data races. This option has been enabled by default to reflect current kernel-wide preferences. Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.
