Andrey Ryabinin bebf56a1b1 kasan: enable instrumentation of global variables
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.

Enables kernel address sanitizer - runtime memory debugger,
designed to find out-of-bounds accesses and use-after-free bugs.
This is strictly debugging feature. It consumes about 1/8
of available memory and brings about ~x3 performance slowdown.
For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE,
and add slub_debug=U to boot cmdline.

help
Before every memory access compiler insert function call
__asan_load*/__asan_store*. These functions performs check
of shadow memory. This is slower than inline instrumentation,
however it doesn't bloat size of kernel's .text section so
much as inline does.
config KASAN_INLINE
bool "Inline instrumentation"
help
Compiler directly inserts code checking shadow memory before
memory accesses. This is faster than outline (in some workloads
it gives about x2 boost over outline instrumentation), but
make kernel's .text size much bigger.

This is a test module doing various nasty things like
out of bounds accesses, use after free. It is useful for testing
kernel debugging features like kernel address sanitizer.
