Linux support KAsan for VMALLOC since commit 3c5c3cfb9ef4da9 ("kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memory") Like how the MODULES_VADDR does now, just not to early populate the VMALLOC_START between VMALLOC_END. similarly, the kernel code mapping is now in the VMALLOC area and should keep these area populated.

What's the use-case for *not* enabling this if you're already enabling one of the KASAN backends?As I know, KASAN_VMALLOC now only supports KASAN_GENERIC and also KASAN_VMALLOC uses more memory to map real shadow memory (1/8 of vmalloc va).The shadow is allocated dynamically though, isn't it?
Yes, but It's still a cost.

There should be someone can enable KASAN_GENERIC but can't use VMALLOC due to memory issue.That doesn't sound particularly realistic to me. The reason I'm pushing here is because I would _really_ like to move to VMAP stack unconditionally, and that would effectively force KASAN_VMALLOC to be set if KASAN is in use. So unless there's a really good reason not to do that, please can we make this unconditional for arm64? Pretty please?
I think it's fine since we have a good reason.
Also if someone have memory issue in KASAN_VMALLOC,
they can use SW_TAG, right?
However the SW_TAG/HW_TAG is not supported VMALLOC yet.
So the code would be like
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC))
/* explain the relationship between
* KASAN_GENERIC and KASAN_VMALLOC in arm64
* XXX: because we want VMAP stack....
*/
kasan_populate_early_shadow((void *)vmalloc_shadow_end,
(void *)KASAN_SHADOW_END);
else {
kasan_populate_early_shadow((void *)kimg_shadow_end,
(void *)KASAN_SHADOW_END);
if (kimg_shadow_start > mod_shadow_end)
kasan_populate_early_shadow((void *)mod_shadow_end,
(void *)kimg_shadow_start);
}
and the arch/arm64/Kconfig will add
select KASAN_VMALLOC if KASAN_GENERIC
Is this code same as your thought?
BRs,
Lecopzer
