Since the shadow byte pointed by the report is 0, so it may mean it is just hit
oob in non-current task. So, disable the instrumentation to silence these
warnings.

Curious, but how did you trigger this? I'm just trying to confirm that
mainline is affected, but my machine boots happily with KASAN and STACKTRACE
selected and I can cat /proc/self/{stack,stat} quite happily.

What am I missing?

I'm using mainline 4.5-rc1 kernel with gcc 5.2. And, my rootfs is NFS mounted.

Not sure if other kernel configs, i.e tracing stuff will have impact on the trigger since I'm not using the defconfig.

Thanks,
Yang
