[PATCH v4 0/5] arm64: kasan: support CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC

From: Lecopzer Chen
Date: Wed Mar 24 2021 - 00:06:29 EST



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 with Kaslr and CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL
and randomize module region inside vmalloc area.

Also work on VMAP_STACK, thanks Ard for testing it.

Thanks Will Deacon, Ard Biesheuvel and Andrey Konovalov
for reviewing and suggestion.

v4:
1. rebase on 5.12-rc4
2. tweak commit message

v3:
rebase on 5.11-rc6
1. remove always true condition in kasan_init() and remove unsed
vmalloc_shadow_start.
2. select KASAN_VMALLOC if KANSAN_GENERIC is enabled
for VMAP_STACK.
3. tweak commit message

v2:
1. kasan_init.c tweak indent
2. change Kconfig depends only on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN
3. support randomized module region.
