Alexander Potapenko f80be4571b kmsan: add KMSAN runtime core
For each memory location KernelMemorySanitizer maintains two types of
metadata:

1. The so-called shadow of that location - а byte:byte mapping describing
   whether or not individual bits of memory are initialized (shadow is 0)
   or not (shadow is 1).
2. The origins of that location - а 4-byte:4-byte mapping containing
   4-byte IDs of the stack traces where uninitialized values were
   created.

Each struct page now contains pointers to two struct pages holding KMSAN
metadata (shadow and origins) for the original struct page.  Utility
routines in mm/kmsan/core.c and mm/kmsan/shadow.c handle the metadata
creation, addressing, copying and checking.  mm/kmsan/report.c performs
error reporting in the cases an uninitialized value is used in a way that
leads to undefined behavior.

KMSAN compiler instrumentation is responsible for tracking the metadata
along with the kernel memory.  mm/kmsan/instrumentation.c provides the
implementation for instrumentation hooks that are called from files
compiled with -fsanitize=kernel-memory.

To aid parameter passing (also done at instrumentation level), each
task_struct now contains a struct kmsan_task_state used to track the
metadata of function parameters and return values for that task.

Finally, this patch provides CONFIG_KMSAN that enables KMSAN, and declares
CFLAGS_KMSAN, which are applied to files compiled with KMSAN.  The
KMSAN_SANITIZE:=n Makefile directive can be used to completely disable
KMSAN instrumentation for certain files.

Similarly, KMSAN_ENABLE_CHECKS:=n disables KMSAN checks and makes newly
created stack memory initialized.

Users can also use functions from include/linux/kmsan-checks.h to mark
certain memory regions as uninitialized or initialized (this is called
"poisoning" and "unpoisoning") or check that a particular region is
initialized.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
