Josh Poimboeuf 881125bfe6 x86/unwind: Disable KASAN checking in the ORC unwinder
Fengguang reported a KASAN warning:

  Kprobe smoke test: started

The ORC unwinder got confused by some kprobes changes, which isn't
surprising since the runtime code no longer matches vmlinux and the
stack was modified for kretprobes.

Until we have a way for generated code to register changes with the
unwinder, these types of warnings are inevitable.  So just disable KASAN
checks for stack accesses in the ORC unwinder.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
