Subject: [PATCH] trace: skip hwasan
Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2019 23:34:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190217043434.46233-1-cai@lca.pw> (raw)

Enabling function tracer with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y (hwasan) tracer
causes the whole system frozen on ThunderX2 systems with 256 CPUs,
because there is a burst of too much pointer access, and then KASAN will
dereference each byte of the shadow address for the tag checking which
will kill all the CPUs.
