From 85716a80c16dd6b6d1aaed87cd4b91c9b1d9b9b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2022 10:45:41 +0100 Subject: kmsan: allow using __msan_instrument_asm_store() inside runtime In certain cases (e.g. when handling a softirq) __msan_instrument_asm_store(&var, sizeof(var)) may be called with from within KMSAN runtime, but later the value of @var is used with !kmsan_in_runtime(), leading to false positives. Because kmsan_internal_unpoison_memory() doesn't take locks, it should be fine to call it without kmsan_in_runtime() checks, which fixes the mentioned false positives.
