[PATCH v2 0/3] kasan: memorize and print call_rcu stack

From: Walter Wu
Date: Sun May 10 2020 - 22:24:09 EST


This patchset improves KASAN reports by making them to have
call_rcu() call stack information. It is useful for programmers
to solve use-after-free or double-free memory issue.

The KASAN report was as follows(cleaned up slightly):

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in kasan_rcu_reclaim+0x58/0x60

Freed by task 0:
save_stack+0x24/0x50
__kasan_slab_free+0x110/0x178
kasan_slab_free+0x10/0x18
kfree+0x98/0x270
kasan_rcu_reclaim+0x1c/0x60
rcu_core+0x8b4/0x10f8
rcu_core_si+0xc/0x18
efi_header_end+0x238/0xa6c

First call_rcu() call stack:
save_stack+0x24/0x50
kasan_record_callrcu+0xc8/0xd8
call_rcu+0x190/0x580
kasan_rcu_uaf+0x1d8/0x278

Last call_rcu() call stack:
(stack is not available)

Generic KASAN will record first and last call_rcu() call stack
and print two call_rcu() call stack in KASAN report.

This feature doesn't increase the cost of memory consumption. It is
only suitable for generic KASAN.

Changes since v2:
- remove new config option, default enable it in generic KASAN
- test this feature in SLAB/SLUB, it is pass.
- modify macro to be more clearly
- modify documentation
