Re: [PATCH v11 09/13] powerpc: disable KASAN instrumentation on early/critical files.

From: Christophe Leroy

Le 26/04/2019 Ã 18:23, Christophe Leroy a ÃcritÂ:
All files containing functions run before kasan_early_init() is called
must have KASAN instrumentation disabled.

For those file, branch profiling also have to be disabled otherwise
each if () generates a call to ftrace_likely_update().

The above is missing in powerpc/next (should now be in arch/powerpc/mm/book3s32/Makefile )
