I have picked the patch "powerpc/32s: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in KASAN init", and that does not fix it For some mem= values like 769M, all BATs are used for kernel linear mapping, and there are none left to map the KASAN shadow area in kasan/book3s_32.c => no oops If I don't compile kasan/book3s_32.c and use weak implementation => no oops But for mem=768M, it oopses I added some debugs in kasan init and dumped BATs content (BAT 7 is my debug BAT for uart) [ 0.000000] kasan_init_region: start=0xc0000000 size:0x30000000 [ 0.000000] kasan_init_region: k_start:0xf8000000 k_end:0xfe000000 k_size:0x6000000 k_size_base=0x2000000 [ 0.000000] kasan_init_region: IF{} k_size_more:0x4000000 [ 0.000000] setbat index=3 virt:0xf8000000 phys:0x2a000000 size:0x2000000 [ 0.000000] setbat index=4 virt:0xfa000000 phys:0x2c000000 size:0x4000000 [ 0.000000] kasan_init_region: final k_cur=0xfe000000 [ 0.000000] [ 0.000000] ---[ Data Block Address Translation ]--- [ 0.000000] 0: 0xc0000000-0xcfffffff 0x00000000 256M Kernel rw m [ 0.000000] 1: 0xd0000000-0xdfffffff 0x10000000 256M Kernel rw m [ 0.000000] 2: 0xe0000000-0xefffffff 0x20000000 256M Kernel rw m [ 0.000000] 3: 0xf8000000-0xf9ffffff 0x2a000000 32M Kernel rw m [ 0.000000] 4: 0xfa000000-0xfdffffff 0x2c000000 64M Kernel rw m [ 0.000000] 5: - [ 0.000000] 6: - [ 0.000000] 7: 0xb0000000-0xb00fffff 0xe0000000 1M Kernel rw i g [ 0.000000] BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0xfd3fce00 [ 0.000000] Faulting instruction address: 0xc013ed84 [ 0.000000] Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [ 0.000000] BE PAGE_SIZE=4K [ 0.000000] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.15.0+ #379 [ 0.000000] NIP: c013ed84 LR: c0140264 CTR: 00000020 [ 0.000000] REGS: c0b07dd0 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (5.15.0+) [ 0.000000] MSR: 00001032 <ME,IR,DR,RI> CR: 28222448 XER: 00000000 [ 0.000000] DAR: fd3fce00 DSISR: 20000000 [ 0.000000] GPR00: fd3fd000 c0b07e80 c09c8a20 0000003f 00001000 00000001 c08c67a8 e9fe7fff [ 0.000000] GPR08: e9fe7000 fd3fce00 00000020 fd3fcfff 00000000 00000000 3ff9c5f0 3fffd79c [ 0.000000] GPR16: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [ 0.000000] GPR24: 00000000 feffffff 00000591 c0b22000 ffffffff 00000000 e9fe7000 00001000 [ 0.000000] NIP [c013ed84] kasan_check_range+0x98/0x2c0 [ 0.000000] LR [c0140264] memset+0x34/0x80 [ 0.000000] Call Trace: [ 0.000000] [c0b07e80] [c08c630c] memblock_alloc_internal+0x9c/0x108 (unreliable) [ 0.000000] [c0b07e90] [feffffff] 0xfeffffff [ 0.000000] [c0b07eb0] [c08c67a8] memblock_alloc_try_nid+0xf4/0x128 [ 0.000000] [c0b07f30] [c08bb7ac] kasan_init_shadow_page_tables+0x84/0x1cc [ 0.000000] [c0b07f60] [c08bba40] kasan_init+0xdc/0x184 [ 0.000000] [c0b07f90] [c08b8108] setup_arch+0x18/0x1c4 [ 0.000000] [c0b07fc0] [c08b3fd4] start_kernel+0x5c/0x2d4 [ 0.000000] [c0b07ff0] [000033c0] 0x33c0 [ 0.000000] Instruction dump: [ 0.000000] 93e1000c 83c90000 83e90004 7fdffb79 83c10008 83e1000c 408201cc 2c030000 [ 0.000000] 39290008 41820034 554af87e 7d4903a6 <80690000> 81490004 7c6a5379 408201a8 It makes no sense to me that we get that fault with a valid BAT covering that area, BAT are not supposed to be checked first ? -- Maxime
