Building on the work of Christophe, Aneesh and Balbir, I've ported
KASAN to 64-bit Book3S kernels running on the Radix MMU.

I've been trying this for a while, but we keep having collisions
between the kasan code in the mm tree and the code I want to put in to
the ppc tree. So my aim here is for patches 1 through 4 or 1 through 5
to go in via the mm tree.
I think this is reasonable. I'd suggest just sending non-ppc patches
separately (i.e. split the series explicitly) to KASAN maintainers,
and ensure to Cc Andrew, too. Just point at this series to illustrate
how it'll be used.

I think the patches are fine, but I'm not entirely sure about the
current placements of kasan_arch_is_ready(), so hopefully Andrey can
also have a look.

I will then propose the powerpc changes for
a later cycle. (I have attached them to this series as an RFC, and
there are still outstanding review comments I need to attend to.)

v12 applies to next-20210611. There should be no noticable changes to
other platforms.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Daniel Axtens (6):
  kasan: allow an architecture to disable inline instrumentation
  kasan: allow architectures to provide an outline readiness check
  kasan: define and use MAX_PTRS_PER_* for early shadow tables
^^ Up to here could be a separate series to go through -mm.
  kasan: Document support on 32-bit powerpc
^^ The Documentation changes are minimal and not just confined to
kasan.rst it seems. In fact your "powerpc: Book3S .." patch changes
Documentation more. So you could just take "kasan: Document support on
32-bit powerpc" through ppc tree as well.
  powerpc/mm/kasan: rename kasan_init_32.c to init_32.c
  [RFC] powerpc: Book3S 64-bit outline-only KASAN support
