[RFC PATCH v3 13/13] kasan: introduce inline instrumentation

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Wed Sep 24 2014 - 08:51:59 EST


This patch only demonstration how easy this could be achieved.
GCC doesn't support this feature yet. Two patches required for this:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-09/msg00452.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-09/msg00605.html

In inline instrumentation mode compiler directly inserts code
checking shadow memory instead of __asan_load/__asan_store
calls.
This is usually faster than outline. In some workloads inline is
2 times faster than outline instrumentation.

The downside of inline instrumentation is bloated kernel's .text size:

size noasan/vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
11759720 1566560 946176 14272456 d9c7c8 noasan/vmlinux

size outline/vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
16553474 1602592 950272 19106338 1238a22 outline/vmlinux

size inline/vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
32064759 1598688 946176 34609623 21019d7 inline/vmlinux
