I would argue that it only make sense to complicate it if it is useful most of the time which I never feel or hear that is the case. This reminds me your recent call_rcu() stacks that most of time just makes parsing the report cumbersome. Thus, I urge this exercise to over-engineer on special cases need to stop entirely. > A good debug tool is to have complete information in order to solve issue. We should focus on if KASAN reports always show this debug information or create a option to decide if show it. Because this feature is Dimitry's suggestion. see [1]. So I think it need to be implemented. Maybe we can wait his response.
