[PATCH 09/13] powerpc: Disable KMSAN checks on functions which walk the stack

Nicholas Miehlbradt nicholas at linux.ibm.com
Thu Dec 14 16:55:35 AEDT 2023


Functions which walk the stack read parts of the stack which cannot be
instrumented by KMSAN e.g. the backchain. Disable KMSAN sanitization of
these functions to prevent false positives.
