Subject: [PATCH 2/8] init.h: Disable sanitizer coverage for __init and __head
Date: Wed,  7 May 2025 11:16:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250507181615.1947159-2-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250507180852.work.231-kees@kernel.org>

While __noinstr already contained __no_sanitize_coverage, it needs to
be added to __init and __head section markings to support the Clang
implementation of CONFIG_STACKLEAK. This is to make sure the stack depth
tracking callback is not executed in unsupported contexts.

The other sanitizer coverage options (trace-pc and trace-cmp) aren't
needed in __head nor __init either ("We are interested in code coverage
as a function of a syscall inputs"[1]), so this appears safe to disable
for them as well.
