Subject: [merged mm-stable] kmsan-allow-using-__msan_instrument_asm_store-inside-runtime.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2022 18:14:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221212021401.E91D2C433EF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kmsan: allow using __msan_instrument_asm_store() inside runtime
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kmsan-allow-using-__msan_instrument_asm_store-inside-runtime.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kmsan: allow using __msan_instrument_asm_store() inside runtime
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2022 10:45:41 +0100

In certain cases (e.g.  when handling a softirq)
__msan_instrument_asm_store(&var, sizeof(var)) may be called with from
within KMSAN runtime, but later the value of @var is used with
!kmsan_in_runtime(), leading to false positives.

Because kmsan_internal_unpoison_memory() doesn't take locks, it should be
fine to call it without kmsan_in_runtime() checks, which fixes the
mentioned false positives.
