[PATCH 2/3] mm, debug, kasan: save and dump freeing stack trace for kasan

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Wed Sep 25 2019 - 10:31:40 EST


The commit 8974558f49a6 ("mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump
freeing stack trace") enhanced page_owner to also store freeing stack trace,
when debug_pagealloc is also enabled. KASAN would also like to do this [1] to
improve error reports to debug e.g. UAF issues. This patch therefore introduces
a helper config option PAGE_OWNER_FREE_STACK, which is enabled when PAGE_OWNER
and either of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or KASAN is enabled. Boot-time, the free stack
saving is enabled when booting a KASAN kernel with page_owner=on, or non-KASAN
kernel with debug_pagealloc=on and page_owner=on.

Both KASAN modes work with both SLUB and SLAB memory allocators.
For better bug detection and nicer reporting, enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.

+To augment reports with last allocation and freeing stack of the physical
+page, it is recommended to configure kernel also with CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER = y
+and boot with page_owner=on.

To disable instrumentation for specific files or directories, add a line
similar to the following to the respective kernel Makefile:
