[PATCH v3 5/5] kasan: Extend KASAN mode kernel parameter
Vincenzo Frascino

Wed Oct 6 08:47:51 PDT 2021
Architectures supported by KASAN_HW_TAGS can provide an asymmetric mode
of execution. On an MTE enabled arm64 hw for example this can be
identified with the asymmetric tagging mode of execution. In particular,
when such a mode is present, the CPU triggers a fault on a tag mismatch
during a load operation and asynchronously updates a register when a tag
mismatch is detected during a store operation.
Extend the KASAN HW execution mode kernel command line parameter to
support asymmetric mode.

Synchronous mode: a bad access is detected immediately when a tag
check fault occurs.
Asynchronous mode: a bad access detection is delayed. When a tag check
fault occurs, the information is stored in hardware (in the TFSR_EL1
register for arm64). The kernel periodically checks the hardware and
only reports tag faults during these checks.
+ Asymmetric mode: a bad access is detected synchronously on reads and
+ asynchronously on writes.
- ``kasan.stacktrace=off`` or ``=on`` disables or enables alloc and free stack
traces collection (default: ``on``).
