From 69e0210fd01ff157d332102219aaf5c26ca8069b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Ryabinin Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:51:18 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] x86/kasan: Clear kasan_zero_page after TLB flush Currently we clear kasan_zero_page before __flush_tlb_all(). This works with current implementation of native_flush_tlb[_global]() because it doesn't cause do any writes to kasan shadow memory. But any subtle change made in native_flush_tlb*() could break this. Also current code seems doesn't work for paravirt guests (lguest). Only after the TLB flush we can be sure that kasan_zero_page is not used as early shadow anymore (instrumented code will not write to it). So it should cleared it only after the TLB flush.
