[v16,2/9] kasan: Add KASAN mode kernel parameter

Commit Message

Vincenzo Frascino March 15, 2021, 1:20 p.m. UTC

Architectures supported by KASAN_HW_TAGS can provide a sync or async mode
of execution. On an MTE enabled arm64 hw for example this can be identified
with the synchronous or asynchronous tagging mode of execution.
In synchronous mode, an exception is triggered if a tag check fault occurs.
In asynchronous 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 kernel command line parameter to make use of this
hw features.

Add KASAN HW execution mode kernel command line parameter.

Note: This patch adds the kasan.mode kernel parameter and the
sync/async kernel command line options to enable the described features.

[ Add a new var instead of exposing kasan_arg_mode to be consistent with
  flags for other command line arguments. ]

+  Synchronous mode: a bad access is detected immediately when a tag

+  Asynchronous mode: a bad access detection is delayed. When a tag check

 - ``kasan.stacktrace=off`` or ``=on`` disables or enables alloc and free stack
   traces collection (default: ``on``).
