Not quite true; it writes to t->kcov_area, and we need to make absolutely sure that doesn't take faults or triggers anything else untowards. > Therefore we can make the KCOV runtime noinstr-compatible by: > > 1. always-inlining internal functions and marking > __sanitizer_cov-functions noinstr.

I can't find where t->kcov_area comes from.. is that always kcov_mmap()'s vmalloc_user() ? That whole kcov_remote stuff confuses me. KCOV_ENABLE() has kcov_fault_in_area(), which supposedly takes the vmalloc faults for the current task, but who does it for the remote? Now, luckily Joerg went and ripped out the vmalloc faults, let me check where those patches are... w00t, they're upstream in this merge window. So no #PF from writing to t->kcov_area then, under the assumption that the vmalloc_user() is the only allocation site. But then there's hardware watchpoints, if someone goes and sets a data watchpoint in the kcov_area we're screwed. Nothing actively prevents that from happening. Then again, the same is currently true for much of current :/ Also, I think you need __always_inline on kaslr_offset() And, unrelated to this patch in specific, I suppose I'm going to have to extend objtool to look for data that is used from noinstr, to make sure we exclude it from inspection and stuff, like that kaslr offset crud for example. Anyway, yes, it appears you're lucky (for having Joerg remove vmalloc faults) and this mostly should work as is.
