Just to check, are there additional patches to disable fortification of
the KASAN code? With that, things seem fine.

Using a RENAME(__real_memcpy), and a call to that didn't help.
With the rename removed (i.e. just an extern __real_memcpy()), it called
__real_memcpy as expected.
I think there's some unintended interaction with <asm/string.h>:
---->8----
#if defined(CONFIG_KASAN) && !defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__)
/*
* For files that are not instrumented (e.g. mm/slub.c) we
* should use not instrumented version of mem* functions.
*/
#define memcpy(dst, src, len) __memcpy(dst, src, len)
#define memmove(dst, src, len) __memmove(dst, src, len)
#define memset(s, c, n) __memset(s, c, n)
#endif
---->8----
If I *only* comment out the memcpy define above, KASAN's memcpy() calls
__memcpy() as we expect.
Looking at the assembly, I see memmove() and memset() have the same
issue, and messing with their <asm/string.h> defintion helps.
Looking at the preprocessed source, the fortified memcpy ends up as:
extern inline __attribute__((always_inline)) __attribute__((no_instrument_function)) __attribute__((always_inline)) __attribute__((gnu_inline)) void *__memcpy(void *p, const void *q, __kernel_size_t size)
{
size_t p_size = __builtin_object_size(p, 0);
size_t q_size = __builtin_object_size(q, 0);
if (__builtin_constant_p(size) && (p_size < size || q_size < size))
__buffer_overflow();
if (p_size < size || q_size < size)
fortify_panic(__func__);
return __builtin_memcpy(p, q, size);
}
... i.e. we override __memcpy() rather than memcpy().
In KASAN, we undef memcpy before providing KASAN's version, so it keeps
its intended name, ending up as:
void *memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t len)
{
check_memory_region((unsigned long)src, len, false, (unsigned long)__builtin_return_address(0));
check_memory_region((unsigned long)dest, len, true, (unsigned long)__builtin_return_address(0));
return __memcpy(dest, src, len);
}
... then __memcpy() gets inlined and the builtin stuff resolved, calling
memcpy().
This'll require some thought.

Likewise! I'd like to have both enabled for my fuzzing config.
Thanks,
