Subject: [PATCH 00/31] kasan, vmalloc, arm64: add vmalloc tagging support for SW/HW_TAGS

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@...gle.com>

Hi,

This patchset adds vmalloc tagging support for SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS
KASAN modes.

About half of patches are cleanups I went for along the way. None of
them seem to be important enough to go through stable, so I decided
not to split them out into separate patches/series.

I'll keep the patchset based on the mainline for now. Once the
high-level issues are resolved, I'll rebase onto mm - there might be
a few conflicts right now.

The patchset is partially based on an early version of the HW_TAGS
patchset by Vincenzo that had vmalloc support. Thus, I added a
Co-developed-by tag into a few patches.

SW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support is straightforward. It reuses all of
the generic KASAN machinery, but uses shadow memory to store tags
instead of magic values. Naturally, vmalloc tagging requires adding
a few kasan_reset_tag() annotations to the vmalloc code.

HW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support stands out. HW_TAGS KASAN is based on
Arm MTE, which can only assigns tags to physical memory. As a result,
HW_TAGS KASAN only tags vmalloc() allocations, which are backed by
page_alloc memory. It ignores vmap() and others.

Two things about the patchset that might be questionable, and I'd like
to get input on:

1. In this version of the pathset, if both HW_TAGS KASAN and memory
   initialization are enabled, the memory for vmalloc() allocations is
   initialized by page_alloc, while the tags are assigned in vmalloc.
   Initially I thought that moving memory initialization into vmalloc
   would be confusing, but I don't have any good arguments to support
   that. So unless anyone has objecttions, I will move memory
   initialization for HW_TAGS KASAN into vmalloc in v2.

2. In this version of the patchset, when VMAP_STACK is enabled, pointer
   tags of stacks allocated via vmalloc() are reset, see the "kasan,
   fork: don't tag stacks allocated with vmalloc" patch. However,
   allowing sp to be tagged works just fine in my testing setup. Does
   anyone has an idea of why having a tagged sp in the kernel could be
   bad? If not, I can drop the mentioned patch.

Thanks!
