H A Dselftest.ca70d36e6a0bd867ef42dce8ef46eb9b5a1515fb0 Fri Dec 03 23:38:17 UTC 2021 Marco Elver <elver@google.com> kcsan: Make barrier tests compatible with lockdep

The barrier tests in selftest and the kcsan_test module only need the
spinlock and mutex to test correct barrier instrumentation. Therefore,
these were initially placed on the stack.

However, lockdep asserts that locks are in static storage, and will
generate this warning:

| INFO: trying to register non-static key.
| The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
| you didn't initialize this object before use?
| turning off the locking correctness validator.
| CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.16.0-rc1+ #3208
| Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014
| Call Trace:

| register_lock_class+0x6b3/0x840
| ...
| test_barrier+0x490/0x14c7
| kcsan_selftest+0x47/0xa0
| ...

To fix, move the test locks into static storage.

Fixing the above also revealed that lock operations are strengthened on
first use with lockdep enabled, due to lockdep calling out into
non-instrumented files (recall that kernel/locking/lockdep.c is not
instrumented with KCSAN).

Only kcsan_test checks for over-instrumentation of *_lock() operations,
where we can simply "warm up" the test locks to avoid the test case
failing with lockdep.
