From 74d899098854b4e56cf9dc9d0245d4d40f5efcd4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 17:04:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kcov: kmsan: unpoison area->list in kcov_remote_area_put() KMSAN does not instrument kernel/kcov.c for performance reasons (with CONFIG_KCOV=y virtually every place in the kernel invokes kcov instrumentation). Therefore the tool may miss writes from kcov.c that initialize memory. When CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is enabled, list pointers from kernel/kcov.c are passed to instrumented helpers in lib/list_debug.c, resulting in false positives. To work around these reports, we unpoison the contents of area->list after initializing it.
