[PATCH v7 01/38] ftrace: Unpoison ftrace_regs in ftrace_ops_list_func()

From: Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com>
Date: 2024-06-21 11:37:39
Also in: linux-s390, lkml
Subsystem: function hooks (ftrace), the rest, tracing · Maintainers: Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu, Linus Torvalds

Architectures use assembly code to initialize ftrace_regs and call
ftrace_ops_list_func(). Therefore, from the KMSAN's point of view,
ftrace_regs is poisoned on ftrace_ops_list_func entry(). This causes
KMSAN warnings when running the ftrace testsuite.

Fix by trusting the architecture-specific assembly code and always
unpoisoning ftrace_regs in ftrace_ops_list_func.

The issue was not encountered on x86_64 so far only by accident:
assembly-allocated ftrace_regs was overlapping a stale partially
unpoisoned stack frame. Poisoning stack frames before returns [1]
makes the issue appear on x86_64 as well.
