Subject: [PATCH rcu 07/12] rcu: tiny: Record kvfree_call_rcu() call stack for KASAN

From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]>

When running KASAN with Tiny RCU (e.g. under ARCH=um, where
a working KASAN patch is now available), we don't get any
information on the original kfree_rcu() (or similar) caller
when a problem is reported, as Tiny RCU doesn't record this.

Add the recording, which required pulling kvfree_call_rcu()
out of line for the KASAN case since the recording function
(kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc) is neither exported, nor
can we include kasan.h into rcutiny.h.

without KASAN, the patch has no size impact (ARCH=um kernel):

6151515 4423154 33148520 43723189 29b29b5 linux + patch

with KASAN, the impact on my build was minimal:

For the !head case; similar to Tree RCU's kvfree_call_rcu()
implementation, we do not need to record 'ptr' (which will be 'func')?

My understanding is that we do not need to record in that case
because __kvfree_call_rcu() will simply invoke the almost-zero-cost
synchronize_rcu() and then invoke kfree().

Johannes, Dmitry, Marco, anything that I am missing?

As-is looks sensible - doing kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() only
makes sense if the actual kfree() is not done with a callstack that
will point at the kvfree_call_rcu() caller. Otherwise we're doing
redundant work and just polluting the aux stack storage slots. So in
the case where kvfree_call_rcu() does synchronize_rcu() and kfree()
the kvfree_call_rcu() caller is in the callstack, and would be shown
on use-after-free bugs.
