Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow
memory to back the mappings.
Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.
Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.
We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.
To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code
expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc
space will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left
unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code.
This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures
that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am
currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment
back to PAGE_SIZE.

--
v2: let kasan_unpoison_shadow deal with ranges that do not use a
full shadow byte.
v3: relax module alignment
rename to kasan_populate_vmalloc which is a much better name
deal with concurrency correctly
v4: Mark's rework
Poision pages on vfree
Handle allocation failures
v5: Per Christophe Leroy, split out test and dynamically free pages.
v6: Guard freeing page properly. Drop WARN_ON_ONCE(pte_none(*ptep)),
on reflection it's unnecessary debugging cruft with too high a
false positive rate.
v7: tlb flush, thanks Mark.
explain more clearly how freeing works and is concurrency-safe.

A potential expansion of this mode is a hardware tag-based mode, which would
use hardware memory tagging support instead of compiler instrumentation and
manual shadow memory manipulation.
+
+What memory accesses are sanitised by KASAN?
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The kernel maps memory in a number of different parts of the address
+space. This poses something of a problem for KASAN, which requires
+that all addresses accessed by instrumented code have a valid shadow
+region.
+
+The range of kernel virtual addresses is large: there is not enough
+real memory to support a real shadow region for every address that
+could be accessed by the kernel.
+
+By default
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+By default, architectures only map real memory over the shadow region
+for the linear mapping (and potentially other small areas). For all
+other areas - such as vmalloc and vmemmap space - a single read-only
+page is mapped over the shadow area. This read-only shadow page
+declares all memory accesses as permitted.
+
+This presents a problem for modules: they do not live in the linear
+mapping, but in a dedicated module space. By hooking in to the module
+allocator, KASAN can temporarily map real shadow memory to cover
+them. This allows detection of invalid accesses to module globals, for
+example.
+
+This also creates an incompatibility with ``VMAP_STACK``: if the stack
+lives in vmalloc space, it will be shadowed by the read-only page, and
+the kernel will fault when trying to set up the shadow data for stack
+variables.
+
+CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+With ``CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC``, KASAN can cover vmalloc space at the
+cost of greater memory usage. Currently this is only supported on x86.
+
+This works by hooking into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically
+allocating real shadow memory to back the mappings.
+
+Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
+page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
+therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
+use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
+``KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE``.
+
+Instead, we share backing space across multiple mappings. We allocate
+a backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page
+of the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc
+mappings later on.
+
+We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
+memory.
+
+To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, we expect
+that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc space will
+not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left
+unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code.
+
+This allows ``VMAP_STACK`` support on x86, and can simplify support of
+architectures that do not have a fixed module region.

+ *
+ * How does this work?
+ * -------------------
+ *
+ * We have a region that is page aligned, labelled as A.
+ * That might not map onto the shadow in a way that is page-aligned:
+ *
+ * start end
+ * v v
+ * |????????|????????|AAAAAAAA|AA....AA|AAAAAAAA|????????| < vmalloc
+ * -------- -------- -------- -------- --------
+ * | | | | |
+ * | | | /-------/ |
+ * \-------\|/------/ |/---------------/
+ * ||| ||
+ * |??AAAAAA|AAAAAAAA|AA??????| < shadow
+ * (1) (2) (3)
+ *
+ * First we align the start upwards and the end downwards, so that the
+ * shadow of the region aligns with shadow page boundaries. In the
+ * example, this gives us the shadow page (2). This is the shadow entirely
+ * covered by this allocation.
+ *
+ * Then we have the tricky bits. We want to know if we can free the
+ * partially covered shadow pages - (1) and (3) in the example. For this,
+ * we are given the start and end of the free region that contains this
+ * allocation. Extending our previous example, we could have:
+ *
+ * free_region_start free_region_end
+ * | start end |
+ * v v v v
+ * |FFFFFFFF|FFFFFFFF|AAAAAAAA|AA....AA|AAAAAAAA|FFFFFFFF| < vmalloc
+ * -------- -------- -------- -------- --------
+ * | | | | |
+ * | | | /-------/ |
+ * \-------\|/------/ |/---------------/
+ * ||| ||
+ * |FFAAAAAA|AAAAAAAA|AAF?????| < shadow
+ * (1) (2) (3)
+ *
+ * Once again, we align the start of the free region up, and the end of
+ * the free region down so that the shadow is page aligned. So we can free
+ * page (1) - we know no allocation currently uses anything in that page,
+ * because all of it is in the vmalloc free region. But we cannot free
+ * page (3), because we can't be sure that the rest of it is unused.
+ *
+ * We only consider pages that contain part of the original region for
+ * freeing: we don't try to free other pages from the free region or we'd
+ * end up trying to free huge chunks of virtual address space.
+ *
+ * Concurrency
+ * -----------
+ *
+ * How do we know that we're not freeing a page that is simultaneously
+ * being used for a fresh allocation in kasan_populate_vmalloc(_pte)?
+ *
+ * We _can_ have kasan_release_vmalloc and kasan_populate_vmalloc running
+ * at the same time. While we run under vmap_area_lock, the population
+ * code does not: alloc_vmap_area and the per-cpu allocator both take the
+ * lock before calling __alloc_vmap_area to identify and reserve a region,
+ * and both release the lock before we call kasan_populate_vmalloc.
+ *
+ * vmap_area_lock instead operates to ensure that the larger range
+ * [free_region_start, free_region_end) is safe: because __alloc_vmap_area
+ * is excluded, no space identified as free will become non-free while we
+ * are running. This means that so long as we are careful with alignment
+ * and only free shadow pages entirely covered by the free region, we will
+ * not run in to trouble - any simultaneous allocations will be for
+ * disjoint regions.
