Jann Horn b3c3424575 kasan: catch invalid free before SLUB reinitializes the object
Currently, when KASAN is combined with init-on-free behavior, the
initialization happens before KASAN's "invalid free" checks.

More importantly, a subsequent commit will want to RCU-delay the actual
SLUB freeing of an object, and we'd like KASAN to still validate
synchronously that freeing the object is permitted. (Otherwise this
change will make the existing testcase kmem_cache_invalid_free fail.)

So add a new KASAN hook that allows KASAN to pre-validate a
kmem_cache_free() operation before SLUB actually starts modifying the
object or its metadata.

Inside KASAN, this:

 - moves checks from poison_slab_object() into check_slab_allocation()
 - moves kasan_arch_is_ready() up into callers of poison_slab_object()
 - removes "ip" argument of poison_slab_object() and __kasan_slab_free()
   (since those functions no longer do any reporting)

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.
