[PATCH] kmsan: introduce test_unpoison_memory()

From: Brian Johannesmeyer
Date: Fri May 24 2024 - 19:28:18 EST


Add a regression test to ensure that kmsan_unpoison_memory() works the same
as an unpoisoning operation added by the instrumentation. (Of course,
please correct me if I'm misunderstanding how these should work).

The test has two subtests: one that checks the instrumentation, and one
that checks kmsan_unpoison_memory(). Each subtest initializes the first
byte of a 4-byte buffer, then checks that the other 3 bytes are
uninitialized. Unfortunately, the test for kmsan_unpoison_memory() fails to
identify the 3 bytes as uninitialized (i.e., the line with the comment
"Fail: No UMR report").

As to my guess why this is happening: From kmsan_unpoison_memory(), the
backing shadow is indeed correctly overwritten in
kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin() via `__memset(shadow_start, b, size);`.
Instead, the issue seems to stem from overwriting the backing origin, in
the following `origin_start[i] = origin;` loop; if we return before that
loop on this specific call to kmsan_unpoison_memory(), then the test
passes.
