+ * Utilities for annotating "safe" data races for Thread Sanitizer
+ * -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
+
+/*
+ * Note [ThreadSanitizer]
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ * ThreadSanitizer (abbreviated TSAN) is a library and set of compiler
+ * instrumentation (supported by both GCC and Clang) for checking C/C++ code
+ * for data races.
+ *
+ * In GHC we use it to check the runtime system implementation (but not yet
+ * generated code). TSAN requires that the checked program uses C++11-style
+ * atomics for all potentially-racing accesses. Note that we use the __atomic_*
+ * builtin operations but not the C11 _Atomic types to maintain compatibility
+ * with older compilers.
+ *
+ * In addition to the atomic operations themselves, TSAN provides a variety of
+ * annotation operations which can be used to annotate cases where the
+ * intended semantics are either ambiguous or intentionally racy (known as a
+ * *benign race*).
+ *
+ * Finally, there are a few benign races which we can't easily annotate. To
+ * silence these errors we have a suppressions file in rts/.tsan-suppressions.
+ * In general it's best to add suppressions only as a last resort, when the
+ * more precise annotation functions prove to be insufficient.
+ *
+ * Users guide: https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/ThreadSanitizerCppManual
