[PATCH v3 1/4] kasan, arm64: Add KASAN light mode

Fri Jan 15 07:00:40 EST 2021


Architectures supported by KASAN HW can provide a light mode of
execution. On an MTE enabled arm64 hw for example this can be identified
with the asynch mode of execution.
In this mode, if a tag check fault occurs, the TFSR_EL1 register is
updated asynchronously. The kernel checks the corresponding bits
periodically.

KASAN requires a specific mode of execution to make use of this hw feature.

Add KASAN HW light execution mode.

Note: This patch adds the KASAN_ARG_MODE_LIGHT config option and the
"light" kernel command line option to enable the described feature.
This patch introduces the kasan_def.h header to make easier to propagate
the relevant enumerations to the architectural code.
