Subject: [PATCH master] ARM64: setupc: don't invoke KASAN before relocation
Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2023 10:34:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230415083447.3069903-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
Plain memset and memcpy are checked by KASAN if enabled before calling
unchecked __memset and __memcpy respectively.
KASAN uses a kasan_initialized variable as first condition in its memory
check, but that only works after relocation. For that reason, we must
take care not to invoke KASAN before then. This was done for ARM32, but
was missing for ARM64. Do so now.
This fixes an annoying issue where network booting a KASAN-enabled barebox
twice in a row would fail: The first happened to work because the memory
kasan_initialized was placed at was zero. The second would behave
erratically, because BSS initialization would silently fail and barebox
static storage would then be initialized with the final values of the
previous run.
Fixes: 932ef7a02e2f ("ARM: Add KASan support")

I wondered if there's a way to print a KASAN error that early, but it's
not easy. Calling even global_variable_offset() in kasan_report caused
infinite recursion, despite use of __no_sanitize_address. Printing
unconditionally could be a way around this.
