Kuan-Ying Lee 6c7a00b843 kasan, kmemleak: reset tags when scanning block
Patch series "kasan, slub: reset tag when printing address", v3.

With hardware tag-based kasan enabled, we reset the tag when we access
metadata to avoid from false alarm.

This patch (of 2):

Kmemleak needs to scan kernel memory to check memory leak.  With hardware
tag-based kasan enabled, when it scans on the invalid slab and
dereference, the issue will occur as below.

Hardware tag-based KASAN doesn't use compiler instrumentation, we can not
use kasan_disable_current() to ignore tag check.

Based on the below report, there are 11 0xf7 granules, which amounts to
176 bytes, and the object is allocated from the kmalloc-256 cache.  So
when kmemleak accesses the last 256-176 bytes, it causes faults, as those
are marked with KASAN_KMALLOC_REDZONE == KASAN_TAG_INVALID == 0xfe.

Thus, we reset tags before accessing metadata to avoid from false positives.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
