[v5,00/44] Add KernelMemorySanitizer infrastructure

Message

KernelMemorySanitizer (KMSAN) is a detector of errors related to uses of
uninitialized memory. It relies on compile-time Clang instrumentation
(similar to MSan in the userspace [1]) and tracks the state of every bit
of kernel memory, being able to report an error if uninitialized value
is used in a condition, dereferenced, or escapes to userspace, USB or
DMA.

KMSAN has reported more than 300 bugs in the past few years (recently
fixed bugs: [2]), most of them with the help of syzkaller. Such bugs
keep getting introduced into the kernel despite new compiler warnings
and other analyses (the 6.0 cycle already resulted in several
KMSAN-reported bugs, e.g. [3]). Mitigations like total stack and heap
initialization are unfortunately very far from being deployable.

The proposed patchset contains KMSAN runtime implementation together
with small changes to other subsystems needed to make KMSAN work.

The latter changes fall into several categories:

1. Changes and refactorings of existing code required to add KMSAN:
 - [01/44] x86: add missing include to sparsemem.h
 - [02/44] stackdepot: reserve 5 extra bits in depot_stack_handle_t
 - [03/44] instrumented.h: allow instrumenting both sides of copy_from_user()
 - [04/44] x86: asm: instrument usercopy in get_user() and __put_user_size()
 - [05/44] asm-generic: instrument usercopy in cacheflush.h
 - [10/44] libnvdimm/pfn_dev: increase MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE

2. KMSAN-related declarations in generic code, KMSAN runtime library,
   docs and configs:
 - [06/44] kmsan: add ReST documentation
 - [07/44] kmsan: introduce __no_sanitize_memory and __no_kmsan_checks
 - [09/44] x86: kmsan: pgtable: reduce vmalloc space
 - [11/44] kmsan: add KMSAN runtime core
 - [13/44] MAINTAINERS: add entry for KMSAN
 - [25/44] kmsan: add tests for KMSAN
 - [32/44] objtool: kmsan: list KMSAN API functions as uaccess-safe
 - [36/44] x86: kmsan: use __msan_ string functions where possible
 - [44/44] x86: kmsan: enable KMSAN builds for x86

3. Adding hooks from different subsystems to notify KMSAN about memory
   state changes:
 - [14/44] mm: kmsan: maintain KMSAN metadata for page
 - [15/44] mm: kmsan: call KMSAN hooks from SLUB code
 - [16/44] kmsan: handle task creation and exiting
 - [17/44] init: kmsan: call KMSAN initialization routines
 - [18/44] instrumented.h: add KMSAN support
 - [20/44] kmsan: add iomap support
 - [21/44] Input: libps2: mark data received in __ps2_command() as initialized
 - [22/44] dma: kmsan: unpoison DMA mappings
 - [35/44] x86: kmsan: handle open-coded assembly in lib/iomem.c
 - [37/43] x86: kmsan: sync metadata pages on page fault

4. Changes that prevent false reports by explicitly initializing memory,
   disabling optimized code that may trick KMSAN, selectively skipping
   instrumentation:
 - [08/44] kmsan: mark noinstr as __no_sanitize_memory
 - [12/44] kmsan: disable instrumentation of unsupported common kernel code
 - [19/44] kmsan: unpoison @tlb in arch_tlb_gather_mmu()
 - [23/44] virtio: kmsan: check/unpoison scatterlist in vring_map_one_sg()
 - [24/44] kmsan: handle memory sent to/from USB
 - [26/44] kmsan: disable strscpy() optimization under KMSAN
 - [27/44] crypto: kmsan: disable accelerated configs under KMSAN
 - [28/44] kmsan: disable physical page merging in biovec
 - [29/44] block: kmsan: skip bio block merging logic for KMSAN
 - [30/44] kcov: kmsan: unpoison area->list in kcov_remote_area_put()
 - [31/44] security: kmsan: fix interoperability with auto-initialization
 - [33/44] x86: kmsan: disable instrumentation of unsupported code
 - [34/44] x86: kmsan: skip shadow checks in __switch_to()
 - [38/44] x86: kasan: kmsan: support CONFIG_GENERIC_CSUM on x86, enable it for KASAN/KMSAN
 - [39/44] x86: fs: kmsan: disable CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS
 - [40/44] x86: kmsan: don't instrument stack walking functions
 - [41/44] entry: kmsan: introduce kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs()

5. Fixes for bugs detected with CONFIG_KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL:
 - [42/44] bpf: kmsan: initialize BPF registers with zeroes
 - [43/44] mm: fs: initialize fsdata passed to write_begin/write_end interface


This patchset allows one to boot and run a defconfig+KMSAN kernel on a
QEMU without known false positives. It however doesn't guarantee there
are no false positives in drivers of certain devices or less tested
subsystems, although KMSAN is actively tested on syzbot with a large
config.

By default, KMSAN enforces conservative checks of most kernel function
parameters passed by value (via CONFIG_KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL, which
maps to the -fsanitize-memory-param-retval compiler flag). As discussed
in [4] and [5], passing uninitialized values as function parameters is
considered undefined behavior, therefore KMSAN now reports such cases as
errors. Several newly added patches fix known manifestations of these
errors.

The patchset was generated relative to Linux v6.0-rc2. The most
up-to-date KMSAN tree currently resides at
https://github.com/google/kmsan/. One may find it handy to review these
patches in Gerrit [6].

A huge thanks goes to the reviewers of the RFC patch series sent to LKML
in 2020 ([7]).
