[msan] Unpoison indirect outputs for userspace when -msan-handle-asm-conservative is specified (#77393)
KMSAN defaults to `msan-handle-asm-conservative`, which inserts
`__msan_instrument_asm_store` calls to unpoison indirect outputs in
inline assembly (e.g. `=m` constraints in source).
```c
unsigned f() {
unsigned v;
// __msan_instrument_asm_store unpoisons v before invoking the asm.
asm("movl $1,%0" : "=m"(v));
return v;
}
```
Extend the mechanism to userspace, but require explicit
`-mllvm -msan-handle-asm-conservative` for experiments for now.
As
https://docs.kernel.org/dev-tools/kmsan.html#inline-assembly-instrumentation
says, this approach may mask certain errors (an indirect output may not
actually be initialized), but it also helps to avoid a lot of false
positives.

Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.
The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
