Subject: [PATCH] kmsan: Fix out-of-bounds access to shadow memory

Running sha224_kunit on a KMSAN-enabled kernel results in a crash in
kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin():

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffbc3840291000
    #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
    #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
    PGD 1810067 P4D 1810067 PUD 192d067 PMD 3c17067 PTE 0

    Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.17.0-0-gb52ca86e094d-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014
    RIP: 0010:kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin+0x91/0x100
    [...]
    Call Trace:
    <TASK>
    __msan_memset+0xee/0x1a0

    ? __pfx_test_hash_buffer_overruns+0x10/0x10
    kunit_try_run_case+0x198/0xa00

This occurs when memset() is called on a buffer that is not 4-byte
aligned and extends to the end of a guard page, i.e. the next page is
unmapped.

The bug is that the loop at the end of
kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin() accesses the wrong shadow memory
bytes when the address is not 4-byte aligned.  Since each 4 bytes are
associated with an origin, it rounds the address and size so that it can
access all the origins that contain the buffer.  However, when it checks
the corresponding shadow bytes for a particular origin, it incorrectly
uses the original unrounded shadow address.  This results in reads from
shadow memory beyond the end of the buffer's shadow memory, which
crashes when that memory is not mapped.

To fix this, correctly align the shadow address before accessing the 4
shadow bytes corresponding to each origin.

Fixes: 2ef3cec44c60 ("kmsan: do not wipe out origin when doing partial unpoisoning")
