Marco Elver 1443b8c9e7 kcsan: Update API documentation in kcsan-checks.h
Update the API documentation for ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_* macros and make them
generate readable documentation for the code examples.

All @variable short summaries were missing ':', which was updated for
the whole file.

Tested with "make htmldocs".

*
* For example, if we only have a single writer, but multiple concurrent
* readers, to avoid data races, all these accesses must be marked; even
* concurrent marked writes racing with the single writer are bugs.
* Unfortunately, due to being marked, they are no longer data races. For cases

*
* .. code-block:: c
*
* void writer(void) {
* spin_lock(&update_foo_lock);
* ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_WRITER(shared_foo);
* WRITE_ONCE(shared_foo, ...);

*
* For example, where exclusive access is expected after determining no other
* users of an object are left, but the object is not actually freed. We can
* check that this property actually holds as follows:
*
* .. code-block:: c
*
* if (refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->refcnt)) {

/**
* ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS - assert no concurrent writes to subset of bits in @var
*
* Bit-granular variant of ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_WRITER(var).
*
* Assert that there are no concurrent writes to a subset of bits in @var;
* concurrent readers are permitted. This assertion captures more detailed
* bit-level properties, compared to the other (word granularity) assertions.
* Only the bits set in @mask are checked for concurrent modifications, while
* ignoring the remaining bits, i.e. concurrent writes (or reads) to ~mask bits
* are ignored.
*
* Use this for variables, where some bits must not be modified concurrently,
* yet other bits are expected to be modified concurrently.
*
* For example, variables where, after initialization, some bits are read-only,
* but other bits may still be modified concurrently. A reader may wish to
* assert that this is true as follows:
*
* .. code-block:: c
*
* ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(flags, READ_ONLY_MASK);
* foo = (READ_ONCE(flags) & READ_ONLY_MASK) >> READ_ONLY_SHIFT;
*
* Note: The access that immediately follows ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() is assumed
* to access the masked bits only, and KCSAN optimistically assumes it is
* therefore safe, even in the presence of data races, and marking it with
* READ_ONCE() is optional from KCSAN's point-of-view. We caution, however, that
* it may still be advisable to do so, since we cannot reason about all compiler
* optimizations when it comes to bit manipulations (on the reader and writer
* side). If you are sure nothing can go wrong, we can write the above simply
* as:
*
* .. code-block:: c
*
* ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(flags, READ_ONLY_MASK);
* foo = (flags & READ_ONLY_MASK) >> READ_ONLY_SHIFT;
*
* Another example, where this may be used, is when certain bits of @var may
* only be modified when holding the appropriate lock, but other bits may still
* be modified concurrently. Writers, where other bits may change concurrently,
* could use the assertion as follows:
*
* .. code-block:: c
*
* spin_lock(&foo_lock);
* ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS(flags, FOO_MASK);
* old_flags = flags;
* new_flags = (old_flags & ~FOO_MASK) | (new_foo << FOO_SHIFT);
* if (cmpxchg(&flags, old_flags, new_flags) != old_flags) { ... }
* spin_unlock(&foo_lock);
*
* @var: variable to assert on
* @mask: only check for modifications to bits set in @mask
