This means: 777 778 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks. 779 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures. 780 781 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if 782 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism 783 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with 784 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(), 785 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries 786 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack. 787 788 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable 789 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but 790 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly. 791 792config VMAP_STACK 793 default y 794 bool "Use a virtually-mapped stack" 795 depends on HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK && !KASAN 796 ---help--- 797 Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks 798 with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be 799 caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose 800 corruption. 801 802 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects 803 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula 804 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space. 805 806source "kernel/gcov/Kconfig" 807
