The upstream commit 1771c6e1a567ea0ba2cccc0a4ffe68a1419fd8ef
("x86/kasan: instrument user memory access API") added KASAN instrument to
x86 user memory access API, so added such instrument to ARM64 too.
Tested by test_kasan module.

Please, cover __copy_from_user() and __copy_to_user() too.
Unlike x86, your patch doesn't instrument these two.
I should elaborated this in my review. Yes, I did think about it, but
unlike x86, __copy_to/from_user are implemented by asm code on ARM64. If
I add kasan_check_read/write into them, I have to move the registers
around to prepare the parameters for kasan calls, then restore them
after the call, for example the below code for __copy_to_user:
mov x9, x0
mov x10, x1
mov x11, x2
mov x0, x10
mov x1, x11
bl kasan_check_read
mov x0, x9
mov x1, x10
So, I'm wondering if it is worth or not since __copy_to/from_user are
just called at a couple of places, i.e. sctp, a couple of drivers, etc
and not used too much. Actually, I think some of them could be replaced
by __copy_to/from_user_inatomic.
Any idea is appreciated.
Thanks,
Yang
