KCSAN data-race reports can occur quite frequently, so much so as to render the system useless. This commit therefore adds support for time-based rate-limiting KCSAN reports, with the time interval specified by a new KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS Kconfig option. The default is 3000 milliseconds, also known as three seconds. Because KCSAN must detect data races in allocators and in other contexts where use of allocation is ill-advised, a fixed-size array is used to buffer reports during each reporting interval. To reduce the number of reports lost due to array overflow, this commit stores only one instance of duplicate reports, which has the benefit of further reducing KCSAN's console output rate.

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.
