[PATCH mm 03/11] kasan: improve kasan_non_canonical_hook

From: andrey . konovalov
Date: Thu Dec 21 2023 - 15:05:26 EST


From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>

Make kasan_non_canonical_hook to be more sure in its report (i.e. say
"probably" instead of "maybe") if the address belongs to the shadow memory
region for kernel addresses.

Also use the kasan_shadow_to_mem helper to calculate the original address.

Also improve the comments in kasan_non_canonical_hook.

Signed-off-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>
