[PATCH] trace: skip hwasan

From: Qian Cai
Date: Sat Feb 16 2019 - 23:34:41 EST


Enabling function tracer with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y (hwasan) tracer
causes the whole system frozen on ThunderX2 systems with 256 CPUs,
because there is a burst of too much pointer access, and then KASAN will
dereference each byte of the shadow address for the tag checking which
will kill all the CPUs.
