[PATCH -tip v2] kasan: Emit different calls for instrumentable memintrinsics

From: Marco Elver
Date: Mon Feb 13 2023 - 15:10:54 EST


Clang 15 will provide an option to prefix calls to memcpy/memset/memmove
with __asan_ in instrumented functions: https://reviews.llvm.org/D122724

GCC will add support in future:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108777

Use it to regain KASAN instrumentation of memcpy/memset/memmove on
architectures that require noinstr to be really free from instrumented
mem*() functions (all GENERIC_ENTRY architectures).

Fixes: 69d4c0d32186 ("entry, kasan, x86: Disallow overriding mem*() functions")
Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx>

v2:
* Use asan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix=1, so that once GCC supports the
param, it also works there (it needs the =1).

The Fixes tag is just there to show the dependency, and that people
shouldn't apply this patch without 69d4c0d32186.
