5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
[ Upstream commit 9a48e7564ac83fb0f1d5b0eac5fe8a7af62da398 ]
When Clang is using the hwaddress sanitizer, it sets __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__
explicitly:
#if __has_feature(address_sanitizer) || __has_feature(hwaddress_sanitizer)
/* Emulate GCC's __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ flag */
#define __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__
#endif
Once hwaddress sanitizer was added to GCC, however, a separate define
was created, __SANITIZE_HWADDRESS__. The kernel is expecting to find
__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ in either case, though, and the existing string
macros break on supported architectures:
#if (defined(CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC) || defined(CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS)) && \
!defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__)
where as other architectures (like arm32) have no idea about hwaddress
sanitizer and just check for __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__:
#if defined(CONFIG_KASAN) && !defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__)
This would lead to compiler foritfy self-test warnings when building
with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y:
warning: unsafe memmove() usage lacked '__read_overflow2' symbol in lib/test_fortify/read_overflow2-memmove.c
warning: unsafe memcpy() usage lacked '__write_overflow' symbol in lib/test_fortify/write_overflow-memcpy.c
...
Sort this out by also defining __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ in GCC under the
hwaddress sanitizer.
