2015-02-13kasan: enable instrumentation of global variablesAndrey Ryabinin1-0/+2
This feature let us to detect accesses out of bounds of global variables. This will work as for globals in kernel image, so for globals in modules. Currently this won't work for symbols in user-specified sections (e.g. __init, __read_mostly, ...) The idea of this is simple. Compiler increases each global variable by redzone size and add constructors invoking __asan_register_globals() function. Information about global variable (address, size, size with redzone ...) passed to __asan_register_globals() so we could poison variable's redzone. This patch also forces module_alloc() to return 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address making shadow memory handling ( kasan_module_alloc()/kasan_module_free() ) more simple. Such alignment guarantees that each shadow page backing modules address space correspond to only one module_alloc() allocation.

2014-10-28compiler/gcc4+: Remove inaccurate comment about 'asm goto' miscompilesSteven Noonan1-1/+0
The bug referenced by the comment in this commit was not completely fixed in GCC 4.8.2, as I mentioned in a thread back in February: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/12/797 The conclusion at that time was to make the quirk unconditional until the bug could be found and fixed in GCC. Unfortunately, when I submitted the patch (commit a9f18034) I left a comment in that claimed the bug was fixed in GCC 4.8.2+. This comment is inaccurate, and should be removed.

2014-10-14kernel: add support for gcc 5Sasha Levin1-0/+66
We're missing include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h which is required now because gcc branched off to v5 in trunk. Just copy the relevant bits out of include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h, no new code is added as of now. This fixes a build error when using gcc 5.
