When building with KASAN and LKDTM, clang may implictly generate an asan.module_ctor function in the LKDTM rodata object. The Makefile moves the lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing() function into .rodata by renaming the file's .text section to .rodata, and consequently also moves the ctor function into .rodata, leading to a boot time crash (splat below) when the ctor is invoked by do_ctors().
Let's prevent this by marking the function as noinstr rather than notrace, and renaming the file's .noinstr.text to .rodata. Marking the function as noinstr will prevent tracing and kprobes, and will inhibit any undesireable compiler instrumentation.
The ctor function (if any) will be placed in .text and will work correctly.

Oh, eek. Why was a ctor generated at all? But yes, this looks good. Greg, can you pick this up please?
Acked-by: Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org
Now picked up, thanks.
Can this be backported to 5.4 and 5.10 stable trees? I just ran across this trying to use kasan on 5.4 with lkdtm and it blows up early. This patch applies on 5.4 cleanly but doesn't compile because it's missing noinstr. Here's a version of the patch that introduces noinstr on 5.4.97 so this patch can be picked to 5.4 stable trees.
Why 5.10? This showed up in 5.8, so how would it be needed there?
confused,
