During early boot, while KASAN is not yet initialized, it is possible to enter reporting code-path and end up in kasan_report(). While uninitialized, the branch there prevents generating any reports, however, under certain circumstances when branches are being traced (TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING), we may recurse deep enough to cause kernel reboots without warning. To prevent similar issues in future, we should disable branch tracing for the core runtime.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
