Yes, that'd be good, along with just not allocating if no stacktraces
are requested per kasan.stacktrace=.

Per comments below, consider making these non-atomic.

If you switch away from atomic for kasan_stack_ring_entry members, you
can just replace the above with a 'struct kasan_stack_ring_entry' and
READ_ONCE() each entry into it below.

What if the object was changed, but 'ptr' is the same? It might very
well be possible to then read half of the info of the previous object,
and half of the new object (e.g. pid is old, stack is new).

Is the assumption that it is extremely unlikely that this will happen
where 1) address is the same, and 2) tags are the same? And if it does
happen, it is unlikely that there'll be a bug on that address?

It might be worth stating this in comments.

Another thing is, if there's a bug, but concurrently you have tons of
allocations/frees that change the ring's entries at a very high rate,
how likely is it that the entire ring will have been wiped before the
entry of interest is found again?

One way to guard against this is to prevent modifications of the ring
while the ring is searched. This could be implemented with a
percpu-rwsem, which is almost free for read-lockers but very expensive
for write-lockers. Insertions only acquire a read-lock, but on a bug
when searching the ring, you have to acquire a write-lock. Although you
currently take the contention hit for incrementing 'pos', so a plain
rwlock might also be ok.

It would be good to understand the probabilities of these corner cases
with some average to worst case workloads, and optimize based on that.

This is a very large struct. Can it be allocated by memblock_alloc()
very early on only if required (kasan.stacktrace= can still switch it
off, right?).

I don't see the point of these being atomic. You can make them normal
variables with the proper types, and use READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE().

The only one where you truly need the atomic type is 'pos'.

This could be smp_store_release() and 'ptr' can be just a normal pointer.

One thing that is not entirely impossible though (vs. re-reading same
pointer but inconsistent fields I mentioned above), is if something
wants to write to the ring, but stalls for a very long time before the
release of 'ptr', giving 'pos' the chance to wrap around and another
writer writing the same entry. Something like:

  T0					| T1
  --------------------------------------+--------------------------------
  WRITE_ONCE(entry->size, ..) 		| 
  WRITE_ONCE(entry->pid, ..)		| 
					| WRITE_ONCE(entry->size, ..)
					| WRITE_ONCE(entry->pid, ..)
  					| WRITE_ONCE(entry->stack, ..)
  					| WRITE_ONCE(entry->is_free, ..)
  					| smp_store_release(entry->ptr, ...)
  WRITE_ONCE(entry->stack, ..)		|
  WRITE_ONCE(entry->is_free, ..)	|
  smp_store_release(entry->ptr, ...)	|

Which results in some mix of T0's and T1's data.

The way to solve this is to implement a try-lock using 'ptr':

	#define BUSY_PTR ((void*)1)  // non-zero because initial values are 0
	old_ptr = READ_ONCE(entry->ptr);
	if (old_ptr == BUSY_PTR)
		goto next; /* Busy slot. */
	if (!try_cmpxchg(&entry->ptr, &old_ptr, BUSY_PTR))
		goto next; /* Busy slot. */
	... set fields as before ...
	smp_store_release(&entry->ptr, object);
