x86_64: increase stack size for KASAN_EXTRA
If the kernel is configured with KASAN_EXTRA, the stack size is increasted significantly because this option sets "-fstack-reuse" to "none" in GCC [1]. As a result, it triggers stack overrun quite often with 32k stack size compiled using GCC 8. For example, this reproducer https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/syscalls/madvise/madvise06.c triggers a "corrupted stack end detected inside scheduler" very reliably with CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK enabled. There are just too many functions that could have a large stack with KASAN_EXTRA due to large local variables that have been called over and over again without being able to reuse the stacks. Some noticiable ones are size 7648 shrink_page_list 3584 xfs_rmap_convert 3312 migrate_page_move_mapping 3312 dev_ethtool 3200 migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page 3168 copy_process There are other 49 functions are over 2k in size while compiling kernel with "-Wframe-larger-than=" even with a related minimal config on this machine. Hence, it is too much work to change Makefiles for each object to compile without "-fsanitize-address-use-after-scope" individually. [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715#c23 Although there is a patch in GCC 9 to help the situation, GCC 9 probably won't be released in a few months and then it probably take another 6-month to 1-year for all major distros to include it as a default. Hence, the stack usage with KASAN_EXTRA can be revisited again in 2020 when GCC 9 is everywhere. Until then, this patch will help users avoid stack overrun. This has already been fixed for arm64 for the same reason via 6e8830674ea ("arm64: kasan: Increase stack size for KASAN_EXTRA").
