Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tracing, kasan: Silence Kasan warning in check_stack of stack_tracer
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 10:22:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160222152311.954701528@goodmis.org> (raw)

From: Yang Shi <yang.shi@linaro.org>
When enabling stack trace via "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled",
the below KASAN warning is triggered:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in check_stack+0x344/0x848 at addr ffffffc0689ebab8

The stacker tracer traverses the whole kernel stack when saving the max stack
trace. It may touch the stack red zones to cause the warning. So, just disable
the instrumentation to silence the warning.
