Marco Elver 84255fe86d debugobjects: Fix various data races
[ Upstream commit 35fd7a637c42bb54ba4608f4d40ae6e55fc88781 ]

The counters obj_pool_free, and obj_nr_tofree, and the flag obj_freeing are
read locklessly outside the pool_lock critical sections. If read with plain
accesses, this would result in data races.

This is addressed as follows:

 * reads outside critical sections become READ_ONCE()s (pairing with
   WRITE_ONCE()s added);

 * writes become WRITE_ONCE()s (pairing with READ_ONCE()s added); since
   writes happen inside critical sections, only the write and not the read
   of RMWs needs to be atomic, thus WRITE_ONCE(var, var +/- X) is
   sufficient.

The data races were reported by KCSAN:

README

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.
