Subject: [PATCH] rseq: Out-of-line rseq_exit_user_update() for KMSAN
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:12:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818181328.2963038-1-iii@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

KMSAN produces the following false positive on s390x:

    [    4.232136] Kernel panic - not syncing: kmsan.panic set ...
    [    4.232339] CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: virtme-init Tainted: G    B            N  7.2.0-rc6-virtme #27 PREEMPTLAZY
    [    4.232676] Tainted: [B]=BAD_PAGE, [N]=TEST
    [    4.232808] Hardware name: IBM 3931 A01 701 (KVM/Linux)
    [    4.232971] Call Trace:

    [    4.240522]  [<000002dcffe33454>] __do_pgm_check+0x1b4/0x2b0
    [    4.240740]  [<000002dcffe75304>] pgm_check_handler+0x114/0x160

The reason is that the following call chain inlined into the noinstr
irqentry_exit() function:

    irqentry_exit()
      irqentry_exit_to_user_mode()
        irqentry_exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
          __exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
            exit_to_user_mode_loop()
              rseq_exit_to_user_mode_restart()
                __rseq_exit_to_user_mode_restart()
                  rseq_exit_user_update()

does not set KMSAN shadow on struct rseq_ids, which is then verified by

    rseq_exit_user_update()
      rseq_update_usr()
        rseq_set_ids_get_csaddr()
          unsafe_put_user()

regardless of presence of KMSAN instrumentation.

Fix by out-of-lining rseq_exit_user_update() and compiling the
out-of-lined version with KMSAN instrumentation.

This should affect other architectures as well, but whether one
actually sees it depends on the leftover shadow of struct rseq_ids
stack location: s390 is not special here.
