When you say the __no_sanitize* attributes allow some instrumentation, does
that apply to any of the existing KASAN/KCSAN/KCOV support, or just for KMSAN?

The documentation just says the same as the commit message:

| This is not the same as __attribute__((no_sanitize(...))), which depending on
| the tool may still insert instrumentation to prevent false positive reports.

... which implies the other instrumentation might not be suprressed.

I ask because architectures which select ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR *need* to be able
to suppress all instrumentation. It's fine if that means they need a new
version of clang for KMSAN, but if there's latent instrumentation we have more
bugs to fix first...

Thanks,
Mark.
