Clang and GCC behave a little differently when it comes to the __no_sanitize_thread attribute, which has valid reasons, and depending on context either one could be right. Traditionally, user space ThreadSanitizer [1] still expects instrumented builtin atomics (to avoid false positives) and __tsan_func_{entry,exit} (to generate meaningful stack traces), even if the function has the attribute no_sanitize("thread"). [1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.html#attribute-no-sanitize-thread GCC doesn't follow the same policy (for better or worse), and removes all kinds of instrumentation if no_sanitize is added. Arguably, since this may be a problem for user space ThreadSanitizer, we expect this may change in future. Since KCSAN != ThreadSanitizer, the likelihood of false positives even without barrier instrumentation everywhere, is much lower by design. At least for Clang, however, to fully remove all sanitizer instrumentation, we must add the disable_sanitizer_instrumentation attribute, which is available since Clang 14.0.

The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic
|
|
data-race detector that relies on compile-time instrumentation.
|
|
KCSAN uses a watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect races.
|
|
|
|
While KCSAN's primary purpose is to detect data races, it
|
|
also provides assertions to check data access constraints.
|
|
These assertions can expose bugs that do not manifest as
|
|
data races.
