Any chance of this sanitizer being generalize for use outside of the kernel? Someday could the we use this like UBSan?


I'm not sure about other platforms, but in Xcode, there is the ThreadSanitizer option in the Scheme diagnostics. Sounds similar to the Kernel Thread Sanitizer mentioned in the article. I assume it's part of clang, but am not positive of the under-the-hood implementation. If so, it may be available on other platforms. (I mention it because Xcode also has options to use Address Sanitizer and Undefined Behavior Sanitizer, so perhaps it's the same thing as the Kernel Thread Sanitizer but for user-space stuff?)
