Subject: [PATCH 5.10 043/104] kasan: add explicit preconditions to kasan_report()

From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@....com>

[ Upstream commit 49c6631d3b4f61a7b5bb0453a885a12bfa06ffd8 ]

Patch series "kasan: Fix metadata detection for KASAN_HW_TAGS", v5.

With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() currently assumes
that every location in memory has valid metadata associated.  This is
due to the fact that addr_has_metadata() returns always true.

As a consequence of this, an invalid address (e.g.  NULL pointer
address) passed to kasan_report() when KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, leads
to a kernel panic.

Example below, based on arm64:

   BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in 0x0
   Read at addr 0000000000000000 by task swapper/0/1
   Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
   Mem abort info:
     ESR = 0x96000004
     EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
     SET = 0, FnV = 0
     EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
   Data abort info:
     ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004
     CM = 0, WnR = 0

  ...

   ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b ]---

This series fixes the behavior of addr_has_metadata() that now returns
true only when the address is valid.

This patch (of 2):

With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() accesses the
metadata only when addr_has_metadata() succeeds.

Add a comment to make sure that the preconditions to the function are
explicitly clarified.
