When triggering a stack dump via sysrq (echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger),
KASAN may report false-positive out-of-bounds access:
BUG: KASAN: out-of-bounds in __show_regs+0x4b/0x340
Call Trace:
dump_stack_lvl
print_address_description.constprop.0
print_report
__show_regs
show_trace_log_lvl
sched_show_task
show_state_filter
sysrq_handle_showstate
__handle_sysrq
write_sysrq_trigger
proc_reg_write
vfs_write
ksys_write
do_syscall_64
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
The issue occurs as follows:
Task A (walk other tasks' stacks) Task B (running)
1. echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
show_trace_log_lvl
regs = unwind_get_entry_regs()
show_regs_if_on_stack(regs)
2. The stack value pointed by
`regs` keeps changing, and
so are the tags in its
KASAN shadow region.
__show_regs(regs)
regs->ax, regs->bx, ...
3. hit KASAN redzones, OOB
When task A walks task B's stack without suspending it, the continuous changes
in task B's stack (and corresponding KASAN shadow tags) may cause task A to
hit KASAN redzones when accessing obsolete values on the stack, resulting in
false positive reports.
Simply stopping the task before unwinding is not a viable fix, as it would
alter the state intended to inspect. This is especially true for diagnosing
misbehaving tasks (e.g., in a hard lockup), where stopping might fail or hide
the root cause by changing the call stack.
Therefore, fix this by disabling KASAN checks during asynchronous stack
unwinding, which is identified when the unwinding task does not match the
current task (task != current).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
