[PATCH 0/2] ANDROID: cfi:free old cfi shadow asynchronously

[Haibo Li]

Currenly, it uses synchronize_rcu() to wait old rcu reader to go away
in update_shadow.In embedded platform like ARM CA7X,
load_module blocks 40~50ms in update_shadow.
When there are more than one hundred kernel modules,
it blocks several seconds.

To accelerate load_module,change synchronize_rcu to call_rcu.

[PATCH 1/2] ANDROID: cfi: enable sanitize for cfi.c

[Haibo Li]

currenly,cfi.c is excluded from cfi sanitize because of cfi handler.
The side effect is that we can not transfer function pointer to
other files which enable cfi sanitize.

Enable cfi sanitize for cfi.c and bypass cfi check for __cfi_slowpath_diag

Thanks for the patch! Please drop ANDROID: from the subject line,
that's only used in the Android kernel trees.

I think this can be simply renamed to free_shadow.

It's probably better to keep the pages read-only until they're
actually released. Can you move the set_memory_rw call to the new
function?

You can just add __nocfi to __cfi_slowpath_diag, right? There's no
need for the separate function.

    You are right.Now there is no requirement for constant crc of __cfi_slowpath_diag.
I will change it later.

   Since call_rcu and rcu callbacks change members in &prev->rcu,the old pages need to be rw at first.
