Subject: mm: kfence: disable KMSAN when checking the canary
Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2024 13:35:03 +0200

KMSAN warns about check_canary() accessing the canary.

The reason is that, even though set_canary() is properly instrumented and
sets shadow, slub explicitly poisons the canary's address range
afterwards.

Unpoisoning the canary is not the right thing to do: only check_canary()
is supposed to ever touch it.  Instead, disable KMSAN checks around canary
read accesses.
