Subject: [PATCH RFC 15/16] rcu: Reduce stack usage in show_rcu_gp_kthreads()
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 18:01:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731010153.3531313-15-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <9de287bc-e565-4f21-bd3c-5c17792e6abc@paulmck-laptop>

From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang@linux.dev>

When CONFIG_KASAN=y and CONFIG_KASAN_STACK=y builds, the
show_rcu_gp_kthreads() exceeds the 1024-byte frame-size limit:

make kernel/rcu/tree.o KCFLAGS="-fstack-usage"
  DESCEND objtool
  DESCEND bpf/resolve_btfids
  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
  CC      kernel/rcu/tree.o
In file included from kernel/rcu/tree.c:4998:
kernel/rcu/tree_stall.h: In function 'show_rcu_gp_kthreads':
kernel/rcu/tree_stall.h:994:1: warning: the frame size of 1656 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

grep show_rcu kernel/rcu/tree.su
tree_nocb.h:1622:13:show_rcu_nocb_state 896     dynamic,bounded
tree_stall.h:933:6:show_rcu_gp_kthreads 1784    dynamic,bounded
tree_stall.h:1102:13:sysrq_show_rcu     16      static

Wrap the pr_info() into two noinline_for_stack helpers function:
show_rcu_state() print rcu_state status, and show_rcu_node()
print single rcu_node status.

After apply this change:

grep show_rcu kernel/rcu/tree.su
tree_stall.h:955:22:show_rcu_node	696	dynamic,bounded
tree_stall.h:930:22:show_rcu_state	872	dynamic,bounded
tree_nocb.h:1622:13:show_rcu_nocb_state	896	dynamic,bounded
tree_stall.h:972:6:show_rcu_gp_kthreads	544	static
tree_stall.h:1113:13:sysrq_show_rcu	16	static
