KMSAN does not instrument kernel/kcov.c for performance reasons (with CONFIG_KCOV=y virtually every place in the kernel invokes kcov instrumentation). Therefore the tool may miss writes from kcov.c that initialize memory. When CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is enabled, list pointers from kernel/kcov.c are passed to instrumented helpers in lib/list_debug.c, resulting in false positives. To work around these reports, we unpoison the contents of area->list after initializing it.

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.
