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.

Do we really need yet another CONFIG option for KASAN? 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
