I wonder if there is some compiler/make flag to turn this off for the whole file? We turn as much instrumentation as possible already for this file in Makefile: KASAN_SANITIZE := n UBSAN_SANITIZE_kasan.o := n KCOV_INSTRUMENT := n CFLAGS_REMOVE_kasan.o = -pg CFLAGS_kasan.o := $(call cc-option, -fno-conserve-stack -fno-stack-protector) These functions call check_memory_region, which is presumably inlined. But if it's not inlined later in some configuration, or we just shuffle code a bit, we can get the same problem again.
