[PATCH V2 3/4] mm/kasan: Don't use kasan shadow pointer in generic functions

Show all headers | View raw

We can't use generic functions like print_hex_dump to access kasan
shadow region. This require us to setup another kasan shadow region
for the address passed (kasan shadow address). Some architectures won't
be able to do that. Hence make a copy of the shadow region row and
pass that to generic functions.
