Hi,

Thanks for taking a look at this patchstack.  I apologize for the delay 
in responding.

The expectation is that `size' is the exact size of the alloca()ed 
object.  `rounded_up_size' then adds the 0-7 bytes needed to adjust the 
size to the ASAN shadow scale.  So `addr + rounded_up_size' should be 
the correct place to start poisoning.

In retrospect this part of the code was pretty confusing.  How about 
this?  I think its intent is clearer, plus it's a closer match for the 
description in my commit message:

	unsigned long left_redzone_start;
	unsigned long object_end;
	unsigned long right_redzone_start, right_redzone_end;

	left_redzone_start = addr - KASAN_ALLOCA_REDZONE_SIZE;
	kasan_poison_shadow((const void *)left_redzone_start,
			KASAN_ALLOCA_REDZONE_SIZE,
			KASAN_ALLOCA_LEFT);

	object_end = round_up(addr + size, KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE);
	right_redzone_start = round_up(object_end, KASAN_ALLOCA_REDZONE_SIZE);
	right_redzone_end = right_redzone_start + KASAN_ALLOCA_REDZONE_SIZE;
	kasan_poison_shadow((const void *)object_end,
			right_redzone_end - object_end,
			KASAN_ALLOCA_RIGHT);
