Previously the system would lock up if ftrace was enabled together with KCSAN. This is due to recursion on reporting if the tracer code is instrumented with KCSAN. To avoid this for all types of tracing, disable KCSAN instrumentation for all of kernel/trace. Furthermore, since KCSAN relies on udelay() to introduce delay, we have to disable ftrace for udelay() (currently done for x86) in case KCSAN is used together with lockdep and ftrace. The reason is that it may corrupt lockdep IRQ flags tracing state due to a peculiar case of recursion (details in Makefile comment).

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.
