From 37ad4ee8364255c73026a3c343403b5977fa7e79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 17:04:13 +0200 Subject: x86: kmsan: don't instrument stack walking functions Upon function exit, KMSAN marks local variables as uninitialized. Further function calls may result in the compiler creating the stack frame where these local variables resided. This results in frame pointers being marked as uninitialized data, which is normally correct, because they are not stack-allocated. However stack unwinding functions are supposed to read and dereference the frame pointers, in which case KMSAN might be reporting uses of uninitialized values. To work around that, we mark update_stack_state(), unwind_next_frame() and show_trace_log_lvl() with __no_kmsan_checks, preventing all KMSAN reports inside those functions and making them return initialized values.
