kasan: docs: update error reports section
Update the "Error reports" section in KASAN documentation: - Mention that bug titles are best-effort. - Move and reword the part about auxiliary stacks from "Implementation details". - Punctuation, readability, and other minor clean-ups.

The header of the report provides a short summary of what kind of bug happened

access, a stack trace of where the accessed memory was allocated (in case bad

access happens on a slab object), and a stack trace of where the object was

freed (in case of a use-after-free bug report). Next comes a description of

the accessed slab object and information about the accessed memory page.

|

Internally, KASAN tracks memory state separately for each memory granule, which
|
||||
is either 8 or 16 aligned bytes depending on KASAN mode. Each number in the
|
||||
memory state section of the report shows the state of one of the memory
|
||||
granules that surround the accessed address.
|
||||
|

For generic KASAN the size of each memory granule is 8. The state of each
|
||||
For generic KASAN, the size of each memory granule is 8. The state of each
|
||||
granule is encoded in one shadow byte. Those 8 bytes can be accessible,
|
||||
partially accessible, freed or be a part of a redzone. KASAN uses the following
|
||||
encoding for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes of the corresponding
|
||||
partially accessible, freed, or be a part of a redzone. KASAN uses the following
|
||||
encoding for each shadow byte: 00 means that all 8 bytes of the corresponding
|
||||
memory region are accessible; number N (1 <= N <= 7) means that the first N
|
||||
bytes are accessible, and other (8 - N) bytes are not; any negative value
|
||||
indicates that the entire 8-byte word is inaccessible. KASAN uses different
|
||||
negative values to distinguish between different kinds of inaccessible memory
|
||||
like redzones or freed memory (see mm/kasan/kasan.h).
|

|

In the report above the arrows point to the shadow byte 03, which means that
|
||||
the accessed address is partially accessible. For tag-based KASAN modes this
|

last report section shows the memory tags around the accessed address

(see the `Implementation details`_ section).

In the report above, the arrow points to the shadow byte ``03``, which means

For tag-based KASAN modes, this last report section shows the memory tags around

the accessed address (see the `Implementation details`_ section).
|
||||
|

Note that KASAN bug titles (like ``slab-out-of-bounds`` or ``use-after-free``)
|
||||
are best-effort: KASAN prints the most probable bug type based on the limited
|
||||
information it has. The actual type of the bug might be different.
|
||||
|
||||
Generic KASAN also reports up to two auxiliary call stack traces. These stack
|
||||
traces point to places in code that interacted with the object but that are not
|
||||
directly present in the bad access stack trace. Currently, this includes
|
||||
call_rcu() and workqueue queuing.
