Subject: kmsan: fix out-of-bounds access to shadow memory
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2025 12:58:58 -0700

Running sha224_kunit on a KMSAN-enabled kernel results in a crash in
kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin():

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffbc3840291000
    #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
    #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

    Call Trace:

    ? __pfx_test_hash_buffer_overruns+0x10/0x10
    kunit_try_run_case+0x198/0xa00

This occurs when memset() is called on a buffer that is not 4-byte aligned
and extends to the end of a guard page, i.e.  the next page is unmapped.

The bug is that the loop at the end of kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin()
accesses the wrong shadow memory bytes when the address is not 4-byte
aligned.  Since each 4 bytes are associated with an origin, it rounds the
address and size so that it can access all the origins that contain the
buffer.  However, when it checks the corresponding shadow bytes for a
particular origin, it incorrectly uses the original unrounded shadow
address.  This results in reads from shadow memory beyond the end of the
buffer's shadow memory, which crashes when that memory is not mapped.

To fix this, correctly align the shadow address before accessing the 4
shadow bytes corresponding to each origin.
