The lkdtm_STACKLEAK_ERASING() test is instrumentable and runs with IRQs unmasked, so it's possible for unrelated code to clobber the task stack and/or manipulate current->lowest_stack while the test is running, resulting in spurious failures. The regular stackleak erasing code is non-instrumentable and runs with IRQs masked, preventing similar issues. Make the body of the test non-instrumentable, and run it with IRQs masked, avoiding such spurious failures.

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.
