Syzbot reports many UAF issues for workqueue, see [1]. In some of these access/allocation happened in process_one_work(), we see the free stack is useless in KASAN report, it doesn't help programmers to solve UAF for workqueue issue.
This patchset improves KASAN reports by making them to have workqueue queueing stack. It is useful for programmers to solve use-after-free or double-free memory issue. Generic KASAN also records the last two workqueue stacks and prints them in KASAN report. It is only suitable for generic KASAN.

Changes since v3: - testcases have merge conflict, so that need to be rebased onto the KASAN-KUNIT. Changes since v2: - modify kasan document to be readable, Thanks for Marco suggestion. Changes since v1: - Thanks for Marco and Thomas suggestion. - Remove unnecessary code and fix commit log - reuse kasan_record_aux_stack() and aux_stack to record timer and workqueue stack. - change the aux stack title for common name. --- Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst | 5 +++-- kernel/workqueue.c | 3 +++ lib/test_kasan_module.c | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ mm/kasan/generic.c | 4 +--- mm/kasan/report.c | 4 ++-- 5 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
