LoongArch: Rework KASAN initialization for PTW-enabled systems
kasan_init_generic() indicates that kasan is fully initialized, so it should be put at end of kasan_init(). Otherwise bringing up the primary CPU failed when CONFIG_KASAN is set on PTW-enabled systems, here are the call chains: kernel_entry() start_kernel() setup_arch() kasan_init() kasan_init_generic() The reason is PTW-enabled systems have speculative accesses which means memory accesses to the shadow memory after kasan_init() may be executed by hardware before. However, accessing shadow memory is safe only after kasan fully initialized because kasan_init() uses a temporary PGD table until we have populated all levels of shadow page tables and writen the PGD register. Moving kasan_init_generic() later can defer the occasion of kasan_enabled(), so as to avoid speculative accesses on shadow pages. After moving kasan_init_generic() to the end, kasan_init() can no longer call kasan_mem_to_shadow() for shadow address conversion because it will always return kasan_early_shadow_page. On the other hand, we should keep the current logic of kasan_mem_to_shadow() for both the early and final stage because there may be instrumentation before kasan_init(). To solve this, we factor out a new mem_to_shadow() function from current kasan_mem_to_shadow() for the shadow address conversion in kasan_init().
