[PATCH] objtool: Permit __kasan_check_{read,write} under UACCESS

[Jann Horn]

Building linux-next with JUMP_LABEL=n and KASAN=y, I got this objtool
warning:

arch/x86/lib/copy_mc.o: warning: objtool: copy_mc_to_user()+0x22: call to
__kasan_check_read() with UACCESS enabled

What happens here is that copy_mc_to_user() branches on a static key in a
UACCESS region:

        __uaccess_begin();
        if (static_branch_unlikely(&copy_mc_fragile_key))
                ret = copy_mc_fragile(to, from, len);
        ret = copy_mc_generic(to, from, len);
        __uaccess_end();

and the !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL version of static_branch_unlikely() uses
static_key_enabled(), which uses static_key_count(), which uses
atomic_read(), which calls instrument_atomic_read(), which uses
kasan_check_read(), which is __kasan_check_read().

Let's permit these KASAN helpers in UACCESS regions - static keys should
probably work under UACCESS, I think.

Calling atomic_read() on a global under UACCESS should probably be fine,
right? The alternative to this patch would be to change
copy_mc_to_user()...

Note that copy_mc_to_user() does not exist in the tip tree yet; it
appeared in commit 0a78de3d4b7b1b80e5c1eead24ce11c4b3cc8791 in the
nvdimm tree.
