Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
bcf6f55a0d
Building little-endian allmodconfig kernels on arm64 started failing with the generated atomic.h implementation, since we now try to call kasan helpers from the EFI stub: aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.stub.o: in function `atomic_set': include/generated/atomic-instrumented.h:44: undefined reference to `__efistub_kasan_check_write' I suspect that we get similar problems in other files that explicitly disable KASAN for some reason but call atomic_t based helper functions. We can fix this by checking the predefined __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ macro that the compiler sets instead of checking CONFIG_KASAN, but this in turn requires a small hack in mm/kasan/common.c so we do see the extern declaration there instead of the inline function.

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.
