kprobes: Avoid false KASAN reports during stack copy
Kprobes save and restore raw stack chunks with memcpy(). With KASAN these chunks can contain poisoned stack redzones, as the result memcpy() interceptor produces false stack out-of-bounds reports. Use __memcpy() instead of memcpy() for stack copying. __memcpy() is not instrumented by KASAN and does not lead to the false reports. Currently there is a spew of KASAN reports during boot if CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST is enabled: [ ] Kprobe smoke test: started [ ] ================================================================== [ ] BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in setjmp_pre_handler+0x17c/0x280 at addr ffff88085259fba8 [ ] Read of size 64 by task swapper/0/1 [ ] page:ffffea00214967c0 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x0 [ ] flags: 0x2fffff80000000() [ ] page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected [...] Reported-by: CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> Tested-by: CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a@gmail.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: David S.
