From 84936118bdf37bda513d4a361c38181a216427e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 12:00:23 -0600 Subject: x86/unwind: Disable KASAN checks for non-current tasks There are a handful of callers to save_stack_trace_tsk() and show_stack() which try to unwind the stack of a task other than current. In such cases, it's remotely possible that the task is running on one CPU while the unwinder is reading its stack from another CPU, causing the unwinder to see stack corruption. These cases seem to be mostly harmless. The unwinder has checks which prevent it from following bad pointers beyond the bounds of the stack. So it's not really a bug as long as the caller understands that unwinding another task will not always succeed. In such cases, it's possible that the unwinder may read a KASAN-poisoned region of the stack. Account for that by using READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() when reading the stack of another task. Use READ_ONCE() when reading the stack of the current task, since KASAN warnings can still be useful for finding bugs in that case.
