lib/stackdepot.c: bump stackdepot capacity from 16MB to 128MB
KASAN uses stackdepot to memorize stacks for all kmalloc/kfree calls.
Current stackdepot capacity is 16MB (1024 top level entries x 4 pages on
second level). Size of each stack is (num_frames + 3) * sizeof(long).
Which gives us ~84K stacks. This capacity was chosen empirically and it
is enough to run kernel normally.
However, when lots of configs are enabled and a fuzzer tries to maximize
code coverage, it easily hits the limit within tens of minutes. I've
tested for long a time with number of top level entries bumped 4x
(4096). And I think I've seen overflow only once. But I don't have all
configs enabled and code coverage has not reached maximum yet. So bump
it 8x to 8192.
Since we have two-level table, memory cost of this is very moderate --
currently the top-level table is 8KB, with this patch it is 64KB, which
is negligible under KASAN.
Here is some approx math.
128MB allows us to memorize ~670K stacks (assuming stack is ~200b).
I've grepped kernel for kmalloc|kfree|kmem_cache_alloc|kmem_cache_free|
kzalloc|kstrdup|kstrndup|kmemdup and it gives ~60K matches. Most of
alloc/free call sites are reachable with only one stack. But some
utility functions can have large fanout. Assuming average fanout is 5x,
total number of alloc/free stacks is ~300K.
