If it weren't a debug feature I would definitely agree with you, but I
think being a debug feature it's not so necessary. Also anything with
more memory than the config option specifies will still boot - it's just
less memory that won't boot. I've set the default to 1024MB: I know
that's a lot of memory for an embedded system but I think for anything
with the Radix MMU it's an OK default.

I'm sure if mpe disagrees he can add EXPERT when he's merging :)

That's a good idea. Done.

Thanks for the review!

Daniel.

Can you start this commit message with a simple description of what you are
actually doing? This reads like you've been on a long journey to Mordor and
back, which as a reader of this patch in the long distant future, I don't care
about. I just want to know what you're implementing.

Also I'm struggling to review this as I don't know what software or hardware
mechanisms you are using to perform sanitisation.


KASAN is standard, it's simply using GCC ASAN in kernel mode, ie kernel 
is built with -fsanitize=kernel-address 
(https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Instrumentation-Options.html)


You have more details there:

That's probably detail, but as it is necessary to deeply define the HW

EXPERT ?

KASAN support on Book3S is a bit tricky to get right:

  - It would be good to support inline instrumentation so as to be able to
catch stack issues that cannot be caught with outline mode.

  - Inline instrumentation requires a fixed offset.

  - Book3S runs code in real mode after booting. Most notably a lot of KVM
runs in real mode, and it would be good to be able to instrument it.

  - Because code runs in real mode after boot, the offset has to point to
valid memory both in and out of real mode.

 [ppc64 mm note: The kernel installs a linear mapping at effective
 address c000... onward. This is a one-to-one mapping with physical
 memory from ... onward. Because of how memory accesses work on
 powerpc 64-bit Book3S, a kernel pointer in the linear map accesses the
 same memory both with translations on (accessing as an 'effective
 address'), and with translations off (accessing as a 'real
 address'). This works in both guests and the hypervisor. For more
 details, see s5.7 of Book III of version 3 of the ISA, in particular
 the Storage Control Overview, s5.7.3, and s5.7.5 - noting that this
 KASAN implementation currently only supports Radix.]

One approach is just to give up on inline instrumentation. This way all
checks can be delayed until after everything set is up correctly, and the
address-to-shadow calculations can be overridden. However, the features and
speed boost provided by inline instrumentation are worth trying to do
better.

If _at compile time_ it is known how much contiguous physical memory a
system has, the top 1/8th of the first block of physical memory can be set
aside for the shadow. This is a big hammer and comes with 3 big
consequences:

  - there's no nice way to handle physically discontiguous memory, so only
the first physical memory block can be used.

  - kernels will simply fail to boot on machines with less memory than
specified when compiling.

  - kernels running on machines with more memory than specified when
compiling will simply ignore the extra memory.

Implement and document KASAN this way. The current implementation is Radix
only.

Despite the limitations, it can still find bugs,
e.g. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1103775/

At the moment, this physical memory limit must be set _even for outline
mode_. This may be changed in a later series - a different implementation
could be added for outline mode that dynamically allocates shadow at a
fixed offset. For example, see https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/795211/
