Patch series "kasan: test: avoid crashing the kernel with HW_TAGS", v2. KASAN tests do out-of-bounds and use-after-free accesses. Running the tests works fine for the GENERIC mode, as it uses qurantine and redzones. But the HW_TAGS mode uses neither, and running the tests might crash the kernel. Rework the tests to avoid corrupting kernel memory. This patch (of 8): Rework kmalloc_oob_right() to do these bad access checks: 1. An unaligned access one byte past the requested kmalloc size (can only be detected by KASAN_GENERIC). 2. An aligned access into the first out-of-bounds granule that falls within the aligned kmalloc object. 3. Out-of-bounds access past the aligned kmalloc object. Test #3 deliberately uses a read access to avoid corrupting memory. Otherwise, this test might lead to crashes with the HW_TAGS mode, as it neither uses quarantine nor redzones.

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.
