    When enabling stack trace via "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled",
    the below KASAN warning is triggered:

    The stacker tracer traverses the whole kernel stack when saving the max stack
    trace. It may touch the stack red zones to cause the warning. So, just disable
    the instrumentation to silence the warning.
