(KCSAN) enablement for x86, courtesy of Marco Elver. KCSAN is a
sampling watchpoint-based data-race detector, and is documented in
Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst. KCSAN was announced in September,
and much feedback has since been incorporated:

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.
