[ Upstream commit 7aed6a2c51ffc97a126e0ea0c270fab7af97ae18 ]
Syzbot reports a KASAN failure early during boot on arm64 when building with GCC 12.2.0 and using the Software Tag-Based KASAN mode:
| BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in smp_build_mpidr_hash arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c:133 [inline] | BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in setup_arch+0x984/0xd60 arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c:356 | Write of size 4 at addr 03ff800086867e00 by task swapper/0 | Pointer tag: [03], memory tag: [fe]
Initial triage indicates that the report is a false positive and a thorough investigation of the crash by Mark Rutland revealed the root cause to be a bug in GCC:
When GCC is passed `-fsanitize=hwaddress` or `-fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress` it ignores `__attribute__((no_sanitize_address))`, and instruments functions we require are not instrumented.
[...]
All versions [of GCC] I tried were broken, from 11.3.0 to 14.2.0 inclusive.
I think we have to disable KASAN_SW_TAGS with GCC until this is fixed
Disable Software Tag-Based KASAN when building with GCC by making CC_HAS_KASAN_SW_TAGS depend on !CC_IS_GCC.
