Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@rivosinc.com> says: As described in patch 2, our current kasan implementation is intricate, so I tried to simplify the implementation and mimic what arm64/x86 are doing. In addition it fixes UEFI bootflow with a kasan kernel and kasan inline instrumentation: all kasan configurations were tested on a large ubuntu kernel with success with KASAN_KUNIT_TEST and KASAN_MODULE_TEST. inline ubuntu config + uefi: sv39: OK sv48: OK sv57: OK outline ubuntu config + uefi: sv39: OK sv48: OK sv57: OK Actually 1 test always fails with KASAN_KUNIT_TEST that I have to check: KASAN failure expected in "set_bit(nr, addr)", but none occurrred Note that Palmer recently proposed to remove COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from the userspace abi https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221211061358.28035-1-palmer@rivosinc.com/T/ so that we can finally increase the command line to fit all kasan kernel parameters. All of this should hopefully fix the syzkaller riscv build that has been failing for a few months now, any test is appreciated and if I can help in any way, please ask. * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: Unconditionnally select KASAN_VMALLOC if KASAN riscv: Fix ptdump when KASAN is enabled riscv: Fix EFI stub usage of KASAN instrumented strcmp function riscv: Move DTB_EARLY_BASE_VA to the kernel address space riscv: Rework kasan population functions riscv: Split early and final KASAN population functions Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230203075232.274282-1-alexghiti@rivosinc.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
