Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 28/46] kmsan: entry: handle register passing from
uninstrumented code

Can you please use 'entry:' as prefix. Slapping kmsan in front of

That should be:
from the non-instrumented part
or
passed to the instrumented part
right?

I can see what you are trying to do, but this will end up doing the same
thing over and over. Let's just look at a syscall.
__visible noinstr void do_syscall_64(struct pt_regs *regs, int nr)
{
...
nr = syscall_enter_from_user_mode(regs, nr)
__enter_from_user_mode(regs)
.....
instrumentation_begin_with_regs(regs);
....
instrumentation_begin_with_regs(regs);
....
instrumentation_begin_with_regs(regs);
if (!do_syscall_x64(regs, nr) && !do_syscall_x32(regs, nr) && nr != -1) {
/* Invalid system call, but still a system call. */
regs->ax = __x64_sys_ni_syscall(regs);
}
instrumentation_end();
syscall_exit_to_user_mode(regs);
instrumentation_begin_with_regs(regs);
__syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work(regs);
instrumentation_end();
__exit_to_user_mode();
That means you memset state four times and unpoison regs four times. I'm
not sure whether that's desired.
instrumentation_begin()/end() are not really suitable IMO. They were
added to allow objtool to validate that nothing escapes into
instrumentable code unless annotated accordingly.
Thanks,
