kasan: improve free meta storage in Generic KASAN
Currently free meta can only be stored in object if the object is not smaller than free meta. After the improvement, when the object is smaller than free meta and SLUB DEBUG is not enabled, it is possible to store part of the free meta in the object, reducing the increased size of the red zone. Example: free meta size: 16 bytes alloc meta size: 16 bytes object size: 8 bytes optimal redzone size (object_size <= 64): 16 bytes Before improvement: actual redzone size = alloc meta size + free meta size = 32 bytes After improvement: actual redzone size = alloc meta size + (free meta size - object size) = 24 bytes [juntong.deng@outlook.com: make kasan_metadata_size() adapt to the improved free meta storage] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/VI1P193MB0752675D6E0A2D16CE656F8299BAA@VI1P193MB0752.EURP193.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/VI1P193MB0752DE2CCD9046B5FED0AA8E99B5A@VI1P193MB0752.EURP193.PROD.OUTLOOK.COMSigned-off-by: Juntong Deng <juntong.deng@outlook.com> Suggested-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@gmail.com> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a@gmail.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
