If the kernel is configured with KASAN_EXTRA, the stack size is increasted significantly due to enable this option will set -fstack-reuse to "none" in GCC [1]. As the results, it could trigger stack overrun quite often with 32k stack size compiled using GCC 8. For example, this reproducer
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/\ syscalls/madvise/madvise06.c could trigger a "corrupted stack end detected inside scheduler" very reliably with CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK enabled. Also, See other bug reports, https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1542144497.12945.29.ca...@gmx.us/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/721e7b42-2d55-4866-9c1a-3e8d64f33...@gmx.us/ There are just too many functions that could have a large stack with KASAN_EXTRA due to large local variables that have been called over and over again without being able to reuse the stacks. Some noticiable ones are, size 7536 shrink_inactive_list 7440 shrink_page_list 6560 fscache_stats_show 3920 jbd2_journal_commit_transaction 3216 try_to_unmap_one 3072 migrate_page_move_mapping 3584 migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page 3920 ip_vs_lblcr_schedule 4304 lpfc_nvme_info_show 3888 lpfc_debugfs_nvmestat_data.constprop There are other 49 functions are over 2k in size while compiling kernel with "-Wframe-larger-than=" on this machine. Hence, it is too much work to change Makefiles for each object to compile without -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope individually.
