Peter Collingbourne bfcfe37136 kasan: fix kasan_byte_accessible() to be consistent with actual checks
We can sometimes end up with kasan_byte_accessible() being called on
non-slab memory.  For example ksize() and krealloc() may end up calling it
on KFENCE allocated memory.  In this case the memory will be tagged with
KASAN_SHADOW_INIT, which a subsequent patch ("kasan: initialize shadow to
TAG_INVALID for SW_TAGS") will set to the same value as KASAN_TAG_INVALID,
causing kasan_byte_accessible() to fail when called on non-slab memory.

This highlighted the fact that the check in kasan_byte_accessible() was
inconsistent with checks as implemented for loads and stores
(kasan_check_range() in SW tags mode and hardware-implemented checks in HW
tags mode).  kasan_check_range() does not have a check for
KASAN_TAG_INVALID, and instead has a comparison against
KASAN_SHADOW_START.  In HW tags mode, we do not have either, but we do set
TCR_EL1.TCMA which corresponds with the comparison against
KASAN_TAG_KERNEL.

Therefore, update kasan_byte_accessible() for both SW and HW tags modes to
correspond with the respective checks on loads and stores.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
