From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 49c6631d3b4f61a7b5bb0453a885a12bfa06ffd8 ] Patch series "kasan: Fix metadata detection for KASAN_HW_TAGS", v5. With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() currently assumes that every location in memory has valid metadata associated. This is due to the fact that addr_has_metadata() returns always true. As a consequence of this, an invalid address (e.g. NULL pointer address) passed to kasan_report() when KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, leads to a kernel panic. Example below, based on arm64: BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in 0x0 Read at addr 0000000000000000 by task swapper/0/1 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000004 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004 CM = 0, WnR = 0 ...

This patch (of 2): With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() accesses the metadata only when addr_has_metadata() succeeds. Add a comment to make sure that the preconditions to the function are explicitly clarified.
