[ 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

...

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b ]---

This series fixes the behavior of addr_has_metadata() that now returns
true only when the address is valid.

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.
