Kernel: Initial integration of Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASAN)
KASAN is a dynamic analysis tool that finds memory errors. It focuses mostly on finding use-after-free and out-of-bound read/writes bugs. KASAN works by allocating a "shadow memory" region which is used to store whether each byte of memory is safe to access. The compiler then instruments the kernel code and a check is inserted which validates the state of the shadow memory region on every memory access (load or store). To fully integrate KASAN into the SerenityOS kernel we need to: a) Implement the KASAN interface to intercept the injected loads/stores. void __asan_load*(address); void __asan_store(address); b) Setup KASAN region and determine the shadow memory offset + translation. This might be challenging since Serenity is only 32bit at this time. Ex: Linux implements kernel address -> shadow address translation like: static inline void *kasan_mem_to_shadow(const void *addr) { return ((unsigned long)addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET; } c) Integrating KASAN with Kernel allocators. The kernel allocators need to be taught how to record allocation state in the shadow memory region. This commit only implements the initial steps of this long process: - A new (default OFF) CMake build flag `ENABLE_KERNEL_ADDRESS_SANITIZER` - Stubs out enough of the KASAN interface to allow the Kernel to link clean. Currently the KASAN kernel crashes on boot (triple fault because of the crash in strlen other sanitizer are seeing) but the goal here is to just get started, and this should help others jump in and continue making progress on KASAN.
