From e1b77c92981a522223bd1ac118fdcade6b7ad086 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 14:08:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/kasan: remove stale KASAN poison after hotplug Functions which the compiler has instrumented for KASAN place poison on the stack shadow upon entry and remove this poision prior to returning. In the case of CPU hotplug, CPUs exit the kernel a number of levels deep in C code. Any instrumented functions on this critical path will leave portions of the stack shadow poisoned. When a CPU is subsequently brought back into the kernel via a different path, depending on stackframe, layout calls to instrumented functions may hit this stale poison, resulting in (spurious) KASAN splats to the console. To avoid this, clear any stale poison from the idle thread for a CPU prior to bringing a CPU online.
