This looks like dueling debug mechanism. At a quick glance
stack_no_used is deliberately looking for an uninitialized part of the
stack.

Perhaps the fix is to make KASAN and DEBUG_STACK_USAGE impossible to
select at the same time in Kconfig?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for looking into this.

I see several strange things about this KASAN report:
1. KASAN is not supposed to leave unused stack memory as "poisoned".
Function entry poisons its own frame and function exit unpoisions it.
Longjmp-like things can leave unused stack poisoned. We have
kasan_unpoison_task_stack_below() for these, so maybe we are missing
this annotation somewhere.

2. This stand-alone shadow pattern "07 07 07 07 07 07 07 07" looks fishy.
It means there are 7 good bytes, then 1 poisoned byte, then 7 good
bytes and so on. I am not sure what can leave such a pattern. Both
heap and stack objects have larger redzones in between. I am not sure
about globals, but stack should not overlap with globals (and there
are no modules on syzbot).

So far this happened only once and no reproducer. If nobody sees
anything obvious, I would say we just wait for more info.

I may be mixing things up but on second glance this entire setup
feels very familiar. I think this is the second time I have made
this request that the two pieces of debugging code play nice.

Perhaps it is a different piece of debugging code and KASAN that
I am remembering but I think this is the second time this issue has come
up.

This is the only mention of DEBUG_STACK_USAGE on kasan-dev:
https://groups.google.com/g/kasan-dev/search?q=DEBUG_STACK_USAGE

Searching lore:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/?q=KASAN+%22DEBUG_STACK_USAGE%22

I found mention of:
kernel-hacking: move SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK after DEBUG_STACK_USAGE

Maybe you remember these 2?

Auto-closing this bug as obsolete.
Crashes did not happen for a while, no reproducer and no activity.
