[PATCH] arm64: lib: use c string functions for KASAN support

From: Kyeongdon Kim
Date: Tue Aug 14 2018 - 09:27:31 EST


Assembly optimized string functions cannot detect KASan bug.
This might have been the intention of the original author.
(not too much important to catch)

But, I found the obvious uaf problem in strcmp() function.
- in this case, using 32bit KASan patchset helps

Since I used c string function, I believe I could find this bug.
After using the patch, can see the report & backtrace the below:
