Subject: x86/traps: move kmsan check after instrumentation_begin
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2024 20:24:07 +0500
During x86_64 kernel build with CONFIG_KMSAN, the objtool warns following:
AR built-in.a
AR vmlinux.a
LD vmlinux.o
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: handle_bug+0x4: call to
kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs() leaves .noinstr.text section
OBJCOPY modules.builtin.modinfo
GEN modules.builtin
MODPOST Module.symvers
CC .vmlinux.export.o
Moving kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs() _after_ instrumentation_begin() fixes
the warning.
There is decode_bug(regs->ip, &imm) is left before KMSAN unpoisoining, but
it has the return condition and if we include it after
instrumentation_begin() it results the warning "return with
instrumentation enabled", hence, I'm concerned that regs will not be KMSAN
unpoisoned if `ud_type == BUG_NONE` is true.
