Eric Biggers 5855792c6b kmsan: fix out-of-bounds access to shadow memory
commit 85e1ff61060a765d91ee62dc5606d4d547d9d105 upstream.

Running sha224_kunit on a KMSAN-enabled kernel results in a crash in
kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin():

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffbc3840291000
    #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
    #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
    PGD 1810067 P4D 1810067 PUD 192d067 PMD 3c17067 PTE 0

    RIP: 0010:kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin+0x91/0x100
    [...]
    Call Trace:
    <TASK>

    ? __pfx_test_hash_buffer_overruns+0x10/0x10
    kunit_try_run_case+0x198/0xa00

This occurs when memset() is called on a buffer that is not 4-byte aligned
and extends to the end of a guard page, i.e.  the next page is unmapped.

The bug is that the loop at the end of kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin()
accesses the wrong shadow memory bytes when the address is not 4-byte
aligned.  Since each 4 bytes are associated with an origin, it rounds the
address and size so that it can access all the origins that contain the
buffer.  However, when it checks the corresponding shadow bytes for a
particular origin, it incorrectly uses the original unrounded shadow
address.  This results in reads from shadow memory beyond the end of the
buffer's shadow memory, which crashes when that memory is not mapped.

To fix this, correctly align the shadow address before accessing the 4
shadow bytes corresponding to each origin.

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 reStructuredText 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.
