Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] kasan-fix-gcc-mem-intrinsic-prefix-with-sw-tags.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 22:46:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250828054621.0FC81C4CEEB@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: kasan: fix GCC mem-intrinsic prefix with sw tags
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kasan-fix-gcc-mem-intrinsic-prefix-with-sw-tags.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kasan: fix GCC mem-intrinsic prefix with sw tags
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 13:07:35 +0100
GCC doesn't support "hwasan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix", only
"asan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix"[0], while LLVM supports both. This is
already taken into account when checking
"CONFIG_CC_HAS_KASAN_MEMINTRINSIC_PREFIX", but not in the KASAN Makefile
adding those parameters when "CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS" is enabled.
Replace the version check with "CONFIG_CC_HAS_KASAN_MEMINTRINSIC_PREFIX",
which already validates that mem-intrinsic prefix parameter can be used,
and choose the correct name depending on compiler.
GCC 13 and above trigger "CONFIG_CC_HAS_KASAN_MEMINTRINSIC_PREFIX" which
prevents `mem{cpy,move,set}()` being redefined in "mm/kasan/shadow.c"
since commit 36be5cba99f6 ("kasan: treat meminstrinsic as builtins in
uninstrumented files"), as we expect the compiler to prefix those calls
with `__(hw)asan_` instead. But as the option passed to GCC has been
incorrect, the compiler has not been emitting those prefixes, effectively
never calling the instrumented versions of `mem{cpy,move,set}()` with
"CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS" enabled.
If "CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCES" is enabled, this issue would be mitigated as
it redefines `mem{cpy,move,set}()` and properly aliases the
`__underlying_mem*()` that will be called to the instrumented versions.
