<title>mm/kasan: fix false positive invalid-free reports with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y</title>

The code like this:

	ptr = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
	page = virt_to_page(ptr);
	offset = offset_in_page(ptr);
	kfree(page_address(page) + offset);

may produce false-positive invalid-free reports on the kernel with
CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y.

In the example above we lose the original tag assigned to 'ptr', so
kfree() gets the pointer with 0xFF tag.  In kfree() we check that 0xFF
tag is different from the tag in shadow hence print false report.

Instead of just comparing tags, do the following:

1) Check that shadow doesn't contain KASAN_TAG_INVALID.  Otherwise it's
   double-free and it doesn't matter what tag the pointer have.

2) If pointer tag is different from 0xFF, make sure that tag in the
   shadow is the same as in the pointer.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm/kasan: Add object validation in ksize()", v3.

This patch (of 5):

This introduces __kasan_check_{read,write}.  __kasan_check functions may
be used from anywhere, even compilation units that disable instrumentation
selectively.

This change eliminates the need for the __KASAN_INTERNAL definition.

<title>mm/kasan: print frame description for stack bugs</title>

<id>e89692190065c12386bd37272ae8b7d142dd079f</id>

This adds support for printing stack frame description on invalid stack
accesses.  The frame description is embedded by the compiler, which is
parsed and then pretty-printed.

Currently, we can only print the stack frame info for accesses to the
task's own stack, but not accesses to other tasks' stacks.

Example of what it looks like:

  page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected

  addr ffff8880673ef98a is located in stack of task insmod/2008 at offset 106 in frame:
   kasan_stack_oob+0x0/0xf5 [test_kasan]

  this frame has 2 objects:
   [32, 36) 'i'
   [96, 106) 'stack_array'

  Memory state around the buggy address:

<title>kasan: initialize tag to 0xff in __kasan_kmalloc</title>

When building with -Wuninitialized and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS unset, Clang
warns:

mm/kasan/common.c:484:40: warning: variable 'tag' is uninitialized when
used here [-Wuninitialized]
        kasan_unpoison_shadow(set_tag(object, tag), size);
                                              ^~~

set_tag ignores tag in this configuration but clang doesn't realize it at
this point in its pipeline, as it points to arch_kasan_set_tag as being
the point where it is used, which will later be expanded to (void
*)(object) without a use of tag.  Initialize tag to 0xff, as it removes
this warning and doesn't change the meaning of the code.

Pull stack trace updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "So Thomas looked at the stacktrace code recently and noticed a few
  weirdnesses, and we all know how such stories of crummy kernel code
  meeting German engineering perfection end: a 45-patch series to clean
  it all up! :-)

  Here's the changes in Thomas's words:

   'Struct stack_trace is a sinkhole for input and output parameters
    which is largely pointless for most usage sites. In fact if embedded
    into other data structures it creates indirections and extra storage
    overhead for no benefit.

    Looking at all usage sites makes it clear that they just require an
    interface which is based on a storage array. That array is either on
    stack, global or embedded into some other data structure.

    Some of the stack depot usage sites are outright wrong, but
    fortunately the wrongness just causes more stack being used for
    nothing and does not have functional impact.

    Another oddity is the inconsistent termination of the stack trace
    with ULONG_MAX. It's pointless as the number of entries is what
    determines the length of the stored trace. In fact quite some call
    sites remove the ULONG_MAX marker afterwards with or without nasty
    comments about it. Not all architectures do that and those which do,
    do it inconsistenly either conditional on nr_entries == 0 or
    unconditionally.

    The following series cleans that up by:

      1) Removing the ULONG_MAX termination in the architecture code

      2) Removing the ULONG_MAX fixups at the call sites

      3) Providing plain storage array based interfaces for stacktrace
         and stackdepot.

      4) Cleaning up the mess at the callsites including some related
         cleanups.

      5) Removing the struct stack_trace based interfaces

    This is not changing the struct stack_trace interfaces at the
    architecture level, but it removes the exposure to the generic
    code'"

In preparation for arm64 supporting ftrace built on other compiler
options, let's have Makefiles remove the $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) flags,
whatever these may be, rather than assuming '-pg'.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
