[PATCH v3] kasan: report only the first error by default

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Thu Mar 23 2017 - 11:44:41 EST


From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>

Disable kasan after the first report. There are several reasons for this:
* Single bug quite often has multiple invalid memory accesses causing
storm in the dmesg.
* Write OOB access might corrupt metadata so the next report will print
bogus alloc/free stacktraces.
* Reports after the first easily could be not bugs by itself but just side
effects of the first one.

Given that multiple reports usually only do harm, it makes sense to disable
kasan after the first one. If user wants to see all the reports, the
boot-time parameter kasan_multi_shot must be used.

Changes since v2:
- Instead of using atomic report counter, use separate flags to determine
whether we're in multi-shot mode, and whether a (oneshot) report
has been made.
Changes since v1:
- provide kasan_multi_shot boot parameter.
