The patch titled Subject: kmsan: disable ftrace in kmsan core code has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is kmsan-disable-ftrace-in-kmsan-core-code.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/kmsan-disable-ftrace-in-kmsan-core-code.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Subject: kmsan: disable ftrace in kmsan core code Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2023 14:00:57 +0100 objtool warns about some suspicous code inside of kmsan: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_load_n+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_store_n+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_load_1+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_store_1+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_load_2+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_store_2+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_load_4+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_store_4+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_load_8+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_metadata_ptr_for_store_8+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_instrument_asm_store+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_chain_origin+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_poison_alloca+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_warning+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __msan_get_context_state+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: kmsan_copy_to_user+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: kmsan_unpoison_memory+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: kmsan_report+0x4: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled The Makefile contained a line to turn off ftrace for the entire directory, but this does not work.
