Alexander Potapenko 40b22c9df2 objtool: kmsan: list KMSAN API functions as uaccess-safe
KMSAN inserts API function calls in a lot of places (function entries and
exits, local variables, memory accesses), so they may get called from the
uaccess regions as well.

KMSAN API functions are used to update the metadata (shadow/origin pages)
for kernel memory accesses.  The metadata pages for kernel pointers are
also located in the kernel memory, so touching them is not a problem.  For
userspace pointers, no metadata is allocated.

If an API function is supposed to read or modify the metadata, it does so
for kernel pointers and ignores userspace pointers.  If an API function is
supposed to return a pair of metadata pointers for the instrumentation to
use (like all __msan_metadata_ptr_for_TYPE_SIZE() functions do), it
returns the allocated metadata for kernel pointers and special dummy
buffers residing in the kernel memory for userspace pointers.

As a result, none of KMSAN API functions perform userspace accesses, but
since they might be called from UACCESS regions they use
user_access_save/restore().
