There was no report for this. I just looked at Xen code because of this Luis's mail and I don't see how it could work with kasan. Fixing this might be not trivial. We need to setup shadow memory before any kasan instrumented function will run. This is like with -fstack-protector (you need to setup gdt before calling any stack protected function). _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
