Linux supports KAsan for VMALLOC since commit 3c5c3cfb9ef4da9 ("kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memory") Acroding to how x86 ported it [1], they early allocated p4d and pgd, but in arm64 I just simulate how KAsan supports MODULES_VADDR in arm64 by not to populate the vmalloc area except for kimg address. ----------- vmalloc_shadow_start | | | | | | <= non-mapping | | | | |-----------| |///////////|<- kimage shadow with page table mapping. |-----------| | | | | <= non-mapping | | ------------- vmalloc_shadow_end |00000000000| |00000000000| <= Zero shadow |00000000000| ------------- KASAN_SHADOW_END Test environment: 4G and 8G Qemu virt, 39-bit VA + 4k PAGE_SIZE with 3-level page table, test by lib/test_kasan.ko and lib/test_kasan_module.ko It works in Kaslr with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL and randomize module region inside vmalloc area. Also work with VMAP_STACK, thanks Ard for testing it.
