release_free_meta() accesses the shadow directly through the path
kasan_slab_free
__kasan_slab_free
kasan_release_object_meta
release_free_meta
kasan_mem_to_shadow
There are no kasan_arch_is_ready() guards here, allowing an oops when the
shadow is not initialized. The oops can be seen on a Power8 KVM guest.
This patch adds the guard to release_free_meta(), as it's the first level
that specifically requires the shadow.
It is safe to put the guard at the start of this function, before the
stack put: only kasan_save_free_info() can initialize the saved stack,
which itself is guarded with kasan_arch_is_ready() by its caller
poison_slab_object(). If the arch becomes ready before
release_free_meta() then we will not observe KASAN_SLAB_FREE_META in the
object's shadow, so we will not put an uninitialized stack either.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
