Currently only hw_tags mode of kasan can be enabled or disabled with kernel parameter kasan=on|off for built kernel. For kasan generic and sw_tags mode, there's no way to disable them once kernel is built. This is not convenient sometime, e.g in system kdump is configured. When the 1st kernel has KASAN enabled and crash triggered to switch to kdump kernel, the generic or sw_tags mode will cost much extra memory for kasan shadow while in fact it's meaningless to have kasan in kdump kernel.
So this patchset moves the kasan=on|off out of hw_tags scope and into common code to make it visible in generic and sw_tags mode too. Then we can add kasan=off in kdump kernel to reduce the unneeded meomry cost for kasan. Changelog: ==== v1->v2: - Add __ro_after_init for __ro_after_init, and remove redundant blank lines in mm/kasan/common.c. Thanks to Marco. - Fix a code bug in <linux/kasan-enabled.h> when CONFIG_KASAN is unset, this is found out by SeongJae and Lorenzo, and also reported by LKP report, thanks to them. - Add a missing kasan_enabled() checking in kasan_report(). This will cause below KASAN report info even though kasan=off is set: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in tick_program_event+0x130/0x150 Read of size 4 at addr ffff00005f747778 by task swapper/0/1 CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.16.0+ #8 PREEMPT(voluntary) Hardware name: GIGABYTE R272-P30-JG/MP32-AR0-JG, BIOS F31n (SCP: 2.10.20220810) 09/30/2022 Call trace: show_stack+0x30/0x90 (C) dump_stack_lvl+0x7c/0xa0 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x90/0x310 print_report+0x104/0x1f0 kasan_report+0xc8/0x110 __asan_report_load4_noabort+0x20/0x30 tick_program_event+0x130/0x150 ......snip... ================================================================== - Add jump_label_init() calling before kasan_init() in setup_arch() in these architectures: xtensa, arm. Because they currenly rely on jump_label_init() in main() which is a little late. Then the early static key kasan_flag_enabled in kasan_init() won't work. - In UML architecture, change to enable kasan_flag_enabled in arch_mm_preinit() because kasan_init() is enabled before main(), there's no chance to operate on static key in kasan_init(). Test: ===== In v1, I took test on x86_64 for generic mode, and on arm64 for generic, sw_tags and hw_tags mode. All of them works well. In v2, I only tested on arm64 for generic, sw_tags and hw_tags mode, it works. For powerpc, I got a BOOK3S/64 machine, while it says 'KASAN not enabled as it requires radix' and KASAN is disabled. Will look for other POWER machine to test this. ==== Baoquan He (12): mm/kasan: add conditional checks in functions to return directly if kasan is disabled mm/kasan: move kasan= code to common place mm/kasan/sw_tags: don't initialize kasan if it's disabled arch/arm: don't initialize kasan if it's disabled arch/arm64: don't initialize kasan if it's disabled arch/loongarch: don't initialize kasan if it's disabled arch/powerpc: don't initialize kasan if it's disabled arch/riscv: don't initialize kasan if it's disabled arch/x86: don't initialize kasan if it's disabled arch/xtensa: don't initialize kasan if it's disabled arch/um: don't initialize kasan if it's disabled mm/kasan: make kasan=on|off take effect for all three modes arch/arm/kernel/setup.c | 6 +++++ arch/arm/mm/kasan_init.c | 6 +++++ arch/arm64/mm/kasan_init.c | 7 ++++++ arch/loongarch/mm/kasan_init.c | 5 ++++ arch/powerpc/mm/kasan/init_32.c | 8 +++++- arch/powerpc/mm/kasan/init_book3e_64.c | 6 +++++ arch/powerpc/mm/kasan/init_book3s_64.c | 6 +++++ arch/riscv/mm/kasan_init.c | 6 +++++ arch/um/kernel/mem.c | 6 +++++ arch/x86/mm/kasan_init_64.c | 6 +++++ arch/xtensa/kernel/setup.c | 1 + arch/xtensa/mm/kasan_init.c | 6 +++++ include/linux/kasan-enabled.h | 18 ++++++------- mm/kasan/common.c | 25 ++++++++++++++++++ mm/kasan/generic.c | 20 +++++++++++++-- mm/kasan/hw_tags.c | 35 ++------------------------ mm/kasan/init.c | 6 +++++ mm/kasan/quarantine.c | 3 +++ mm/kasan/report.c | 4 ++- mm/kasan/shadow.c | 23 ++++++++++++++++- mm/kasan/sw_tags.c | 9 +++++++ 21 files changed, 165 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) -- 2.41.0
