[PATCH v2 0/7] x86, kasan: add KASAN checks to atomic operations

From: Dmitry Vyukov
Date: Fri May 26 2017 - 15:12:28 EST


KASAN uses compiler instrumentation to intercept all memory accesses.
But it does not see memory accesses done in assembly code.
One notable user of assembly code is atomic operations. Frequently,
for example, an atomic reference decrement is the last access to an
object and a good candidate for a racy use-after-free.

Atomic operations are defined in arch files, but KASAN instrumentation
is required for several archs that support KASAN. Later we will need
similar hooks for KMSAN (uninit use detector) and KTSAN (data race
detector).

This change introduces wrappers around atomic operations that can be
used to add KASAN/KMSAN/KTSAN instrumentation across several archs,
and adds KASAN checks to them.

This patch uses the wrappers only for x86 arch. Arm64 will be switched
later. And we also plan to instrument bitops in a similar way.

Within a day it has found its first bug:
