KCSAN
A data race detection tool for the Linux kernel that detects race conditions in concurrent accesses based on compile-time instrumentation.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The kernel community commonly uses KASAN to report an error immediately upon accessing freed memory, KCSAN to detect data races, syzkaller for large-scale fuzz testing of system-call combinations, and artificially inserted delays to widen race windows.
Tools for debugging memory consistency issues include Linux perf, herd7/litmus memory model checking tools, and KCSAN (Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer).
