[PATCH] x86/process: Silence KASAN warnings in get_wchan()

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Mon Oct 05 2015 - 06:30:30 EST


get_wchan() is racy by design, it may access volatile stack
of running task, thus it may access redzone in a stack frame
and cause KASAN to warn about this.

Use kasan_disable_current()/kasan_enable_current() to silence
these warnings.

Perhaps it would be better to add something like this:
READ_ONCE_NOCHECK()
{
kasan_disable_current();
READ_ONCE();
kasan_enable_current();
}
?
