kmsan: simplify kmsan_internal_memmove_metadata()
kmsan_internal_memmove_metadata() is the function that implements copying metadata every time memcpy()/memmove() is called. Because shadow memory stores 1 byte per each byte of kernel memory, copying the shadow is trivial and can be done by a single memmove() call. Origins, on the other hand, are stored as 4-byte values corresponding to every aligned 4 bytes of kernel memory. Therefore, if either the source or the destination of kmsan_internal_memmove_metadata() is unaligned, the number of origin slots corresponding to the source or destination may differ: 1) memcpy(0xffff888080a00000, 0xffff888080900000, 4) copies 1 origin slot into 1 origin slot: src (0xffff888080900000): xxxx src origins: o111 dst (0xffff888080a00000): xxxx dst origins: o111 2) memcpy(0xffff888080a00001, 0xffff888080900000, 4) copies 1 origin slot into 2 origin slots: src (0xffff888080900000): xxxx src origins: o111 dst (0xffff888080a00000): .xxx x... dst origins: o111 o111 3) memcpy(0xffff888080a00000, 0xffff888080900001, 4) copies 2 origin slots into 1 origin slot: src (0xffff888080900000): .xxx x... src origins: o111 o222 dst (0xffff888080a00000): xxxx dst origins: o111 (or o222) Previously, kmsan_internal_memmove_metadata() tried to solve this problem by copying min(src_slots, dst_slots) as is and cloning the missing slot on one of the ends, if needed. This was error-prone even in the simple cases where 4 bytes were copied, and did not account for situations where the total number of nonzero origin slots could have increased by more than one after copying: memcpy(0xffff888080a00000, 0xffff888080900002, 8) src (0xffff888080900002): ..xx .... xx.. src origins: o111 0000 o222 dst (0xffff888080a00000): xx.. ..xx o111 0000 (or 0000 o222) The new implementation simply copies the shadow byte by byte, and updates the corresponding origin slot, if the shadow byte is nonzero. This approach can handle complex cases with mixed initialized and uninitialized bytes. Similarly to KMSAN inline instrumentation, latter writes to bytes sharing the same origin slots take precedence.
