From: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kasan: disable branch tracing for core runtime
During early boot, while KASAN is not yet initialized, it is possible to
enter reporting code-path and end up in kasan_report(). While
uninitialized, the branch there prevents generating any reports, however,
under certain circumstances when branches are being traced
(TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING), we may recurse deep enough to cause kernel
reboots without warning.
To prevent similar issues in future, we should disable branch tracing for
the core runtime.
[elver@xxxxxxxxxx: remove duplicate DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING, per Qian Cai]
