Instrument copy_from_kernel_nofault() with KMSAN for uninitialized kernel memory check and copy_to_kernel_nofault() with KASAN, KCSAN to detect the memory corruption. syzbot reported that bpf_probe_read_kernel() kernel helper triggered KASAN report via kasan_check_range() which is not the expected behaviour as copy_from_kernel_nofault() is meant to be a non-faulting helper. Solution is, suggested by Marco Elver, to replace KASAN, KCSAN check in copy_from_kernel_nofault() with KMSAN detection of copying uninitilaized kernel memory. In copy_to_kernel_nofault() we can retain instrument_write() explicitly for the memory corruption instrumentation. copy_to_kernel_nofault() is tested on x86_64 and arm64 with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS. On arm64 with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS, kunit test currently fails. Need more clarification on it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
