Record and report more information to help us find the cause of the bug and to help us correlate the error with other system events. This patch adds recording and showing CPU number and timestamp at allocation and free (controlled by CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA_INFO). The timestamps in the report use the same format and source as printk. Error occurrence timestamp is already implicit in the printk log, and CPU number is already shown by dump_stack_lvl, so there is no need to add it. In order to record CPU number and timestamp at allocation and free, corresponding members need to be added to the relevant data structures, which will lead to increased memory consumption. In Generic KASAN, members are added to struct kasan_track. Since in most cases, alloc meta is stored in the redzone and free meta is stored in the object or the redzone, memory consumption will not increase much. In SW_TAGS KASAN and HW_TAGS KASAN, members are added to struct kasan_stack_ring_entry. Memory consumption increases as the size of struct kasan_stack_ring_entry increases (this part of the memory is allocated by memblock), but since this is configurable, it is up to the user to choose.

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.
