Subject: [PATCH 1/3] kcov: ensure irq code sees a valid area
For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, some C code may execute before or
after the interrupt handler, while the hardirq count is zero. In these
cases, in_task() can return true.
A task can be interrupted in the middle of a KCOV_DISABLE ioctl while it
resets the task's kcov data via kcov_task_init(). Instrumented code
executed during this period will call __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(), and as
in_task() returns true, will inspect t->kcov_mode before trying to write
to t->kcov_area.
In kcov_init_task() Since we update t->kcov_{mode,area,size} with plain
stores, which may be re-ordered, torn, etc. Thus
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() may see bogus values for any of these fields,
and may attempt to write to memory which is not mapped.
Let's avoid this by using WRITE_ONCE() to set t->kcov_mode, with a
barrier() to ensure this is ordered before we clear t->kov_{area,size}.
This ensures that any code execute while kcov_init_task() is preempted
will either see valid values for t->kcov_{area,size}, or will see that
t->kcov_mode is KCOV_MODE_DISABLED, and bail out without touching
t->kcov_area.
