Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH] stackdepot: use variable size records for
 non-evictable entries

And on top of this we can make KASAN generic happier again:

Objections?

Subject: [PATCH RFC] kasan: revert eviction of stack traces in generic mode

This partially reverts commits cc478e0b6bdf, 63b85ac56a64, 08d7c94d9635,
a414d4286f34, and 773688a6cb24 to make use of variable-sized stack depot
records, since eviction of stack entries from stack depot forces fixed-
sized stack records. Care was taken to retain the code cleanups by the
above commits.

Eviction was added to generic KASAN as a response to alleviating the
additional memory usage from fixed-sized stack records, but this still
uses more memory than previously.

With the re-introduction of variable-sized records for stack depot, we
can just switch back to non-evictable stack records again, and return
back to the previous performance and memory usage baseline.

Before (observed after a KASAN kernel boot):

  pools: 597
  allocations: 29657
  frees: 6425
  in_use: 23232
  freelist_size: 3493

After:

  pools: 315
  allocations: 28964
  frees: 0
  in_use: 28964
  freelist_size: 0

As can be seen from the number of "frees", with a generic KASAN config,
evictions are no longer used but due to using variable-sized records, I
observe a reduction of 282 stack depot pools (saving 4512 KiB).

Fixes: cc478e0b6bdf ("kasan: avoid resetting aux_lock")
Fixes: 63b85ac56a64 ("kasan: stop leaking stack trace handles")
Fixes: 08d7c94d9635 ("kasan: memset free track in qlink_free")
Fixes: a414d4286f34 ("kasan: handle concurrent kasan_record_aux_stack calls")
Fixes: 773688a6cb24 ("kasan: use stack_depot_put for Generic mode")
