syzkaller just happens to be good at fuzzing USB drivers, so it was
fairly easy to implement and test USB support for KMSAN.
This should give the maintainers of other buses an idea of how this
could be done :)
What about serial data? i2c? spi? w1? We

We hope to cover those after KMSAN hits upstream.

Before writing a buffer to DMA, that buffer's contents are checked by
KMSAN. If there are uninitialized bytes, those will be reported.
After reading a buffer from DMA, it is marked as initialized to avoid
false positives.
We do not track DMA memory itself.
