Subject: [PATCH v6 15/18] x86/kasan: Handle UD1 for inline KASAN reports

From: Maciej Wieczor-Retman <maciej.wieczor-retman@...el.com>

Inline KASAN on x86 should do tag mismatch reports by passing the
metadata through the UD1 instruction and the faulty address through RDI,
a scheme that's already used by UBSan and is easy to extend.

The current LLVM way of passing KASAN software tag mode metadata is done
using the INT3 instruction. However that should be changed because it
doesn't align to how the kernel already handles UD1 for similar use
cases. Since inline software tag-based KASAN doesn't work on x86 due to
missing compiler support it can be fixed and the INT3 can be changed to
UD1 at the same time.

Add a kasan component to the #UD decoding and handling functions.

Make part of that hook - which decides whether to die or recover from a
tag mismatch - arch independent to avoid duplicating a long comment on
both x86 and arm64 architectures.

Signed-off-by: Maciej Wieczor-Retman <maciej.wieczor-retman@...el.com>

Changelog v6:
- Change the whole patch from using INT3 to UD1.

Changelog v5:
- Add die to argument list of kasan_inline_recover() in
  arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c.

Changelog v4:
- Make kasan_handler() a stub in a header file. Remove #ifdef from
  traps.c.
- Consolidate the "recover" comment into one place.
- Make small changes to the patch message.
