[ Upstream commit 4117992df6 ]
KASAN does not play well with the page poisoning (CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING).
It triggers false positives in the allocation path:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in memchr_inv+0x2ea/0x330
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88881f800000 by task swapper/0
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.0.0-rc1+ #54
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0xe0/0x19a
print_address_description.cold.2+0x9/0x28b
kasan_report.cold.3+0x7a/0xb5

memchr_inv+0x2ea/0x330
kernel_poison_pages+0x103/0x3d5
get_page_from_freelist+0x15e7/0x4d90
because KASAN has not yet unpoisoned the shadow page for allocation
before it checks memchr_inv() but only found a stale poison pattern.
Also, false positives in free path,
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kernel_poison_pages+0x29e/0x3d5
Write of size 4096 at addr ffff8888112cc000 by task swapper/0/1

kernel_poison_pages+0x29e/0x3d5
__free_pages_ok+0x75f/0x13e0
due to KASAN adds poisoned redzones around slab objects, but the page
poisoning needs to poison the whole page.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
