kmsan: add KMSAN runtime core
For each memory location KernelMemorySanitizer maintains two types of metadata: 1. The so-called shadow of that location - а byte:byte mapping describing whether or not individual bits of memory are initialized (shadow is 0) or not (shadow is 1). 2. The origins of that location - а 4-byte:4-byte mapping containing 4-byte IDs of the stack traces where uninitialized values were created. Each struct page now contains pointers to two struct pages holding KMSAN metadata (shadow and origins) for the original struct page. Utility routines in mm/kmsan/core.c and mm/kmsan/shadow.c handle the metadata creation, addressing, copying and checking. mm/kmsan/report.c performs error reporting in the cases an uninitialized value is used in a way that leads to undefined behavior. KMSAN compiler instrumentation is responsible for tracking the metadata along with the kernel memory. mm/kmsan/instrumentation.c provides the implementation for instrumentation hooks that are called from files compiled with -fsanitize=kernel-memory. To aid parameter passing (also done at instrumentation level), each task_struct now contains a struct kmsan_task_state used to track the metadata of function parameters and return values for that task. Finally, this patch provides CONFIG_KMSAN that enables KMSAN, and declares CFLAGS_KMSAN, which are applied to files compiled with KMSAN. The KMSAN_SANITIZE:=n Makefile directive can be used to completely disable KMSAN instrumentation for certain files. Similarly, KMSAN_ENABLE_CHECKS:=n disables KMSAN checks and makes newly created stack memory initialized. Users can also use functions from include/linux/kmsan-checks.h to mark certain memory regions as uninitialized or initialized (this is called "poisoning" and "unpoisoning") or check that a particular region is initialized.

+ KernelMemorySanitizer (KMSAN) is a dynamic detector of uses of
+ uninitialized values in the kernel. It is based on compiler
+ instrumentation provided by Clang and thus requires Clang to build.
+
+ An important note is that KMSAN is not intended for production use,

+
