From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Arnd Bergmann Subject: [PATCH v2 01/11] compiler: introduce noinline_if_stackbloat annotation Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2017 23:15:36 +0200 Message-ID: <20170614211556.2062728-2-arnd@arndb.de> References: <20170614211556.2062728-1-arnd@arndb.de> Cc: kasan-dev@googlegroups.com, Dmitry Vyukov , Alexander Potapenko , Andrey Ryabinin , netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Arend van Spriel , Arnd Bergmann To: Andrew Morton Return-path: In-Reply-To: <20170614211556.2062728-1-arnd@arndb.de> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org When CONFIG_KASAN is set, we can run into some code that uses incredible amounts of kernel stack: drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_neo.c:1056:1: error: the frame size of 11112 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] drivers/media/i2c/cx25840/cx25840-core.c:4960:1: error: the frame size of 94000 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3430:1: error: the frame size of 5312 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] This happens when a sanitizer uses stack memory each time an inline function gets called. This introduces a new annotation for those functions to make them either 'inline' or 'noinline' depending on the CONFIG_KASAN symbol.
