Marco Elver 33cd65e73a 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@google.com: remove duplicate DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING, per Qian Cai]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
