[PATCH v2 3/5] kasan, arm64: don't instrument functions that enable kasan

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch prepares Software Tag-Based KASAN for stack tagging support.

With stack tagging enabled, KASAN tags stack variable in each function
in its prologue. In start_kernel() stack variables get tagged before KASAN
is enabled via setup_arch()->kasan_init(). As the result the tags for
start_kernel()'s stack variables end up in the temporary shadow memory.
Later when KASAN gets enabled, switched to normal shadow, and starts
checking tags, this leads to false-positive reports, as proper tags are
missing in normal shadow.

Disable KASAN instrumentation for start_kernel(). Also disable it for
arm64's setup_arch() as a precaution (it doesn't have any stack variables
right now).
