    UML: add support for KASAN under x86_64 · 5b301409

    Make KASAN run on User Mode Linux on x86_64.
    
    The UML-specific KASAN initializer uses mmap to map the ~16TB of shadow
    memory to the location defined by KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET.  kasan_init()
    utilizes constructors to initialize KASAN before main().
    
    The location of the KASAN shadow memory, starting at
    KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET, can be configured using the KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
    option. The default location of this offset is 0x100000000000, which
    keeps it out-of-the-way even on UML setups with more "physical" memory.
    
    For low-memory setups, 0x7fff8000 can be used instead, which fits in an
    immediate and is therefore faster, as suggested by Dmitry Vyukov. There
    is usually enough free space at this location; however, it is a config
    option so that it can be easily changed if needed.
    
    Note that, unlike KASAN on other architectures, vmalloc allocations
    still use the shadow memory allocated upfront, rather than allocating
    and free-ing it per-vmalloc allocation.
    
    If another architecture chooses to go down the same path, we should
    replace the checks for CONFIG_UML with something more generic, such
    as:
    - A CONFIG_KASAN_NO_SHADOW_ALLOC option, which architectures could set
    - or, a way of having architecture-specific versions of these vmalloc
      and module shadow memory allocation options.
    
    Also note that, while UML supports both KASAN in inline mode
    (CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE) and static linking (CONFIG_STATIC_LINK), it does
    not support both at the same time.
