kasan: revert eviction of stack traces in generic mode
This partially reverts commits cc478e0, 63b85ac, 08d7c94,
a414d42, and 773688a to make use of variable-sized stack depot
records, since eviction of stack entries from stack depot forces fixed-
sized stack records. Care was taken to retain the code cleanups by the
above commits.
Eviction was added to generic KASAN as a response to alleviating the
additional memory usage from fixed-sized stack records, but this still
uses more memory than previously.
With the re-introduction of variable-sized records for stack depot, we can
just switch back to non-evictable stack records again, and return back to
the previous performance and memory usage baseline.
Before (observed after a KASAN kernel boot):
pools: 597
refcounted_allocations: 17547
refcounted_frees: 6477
refcounted_in_use: 11070
freelist_size: 3497
persistent_count: 12163
persistent_bytes: 1717008
After:
pools: 319
refcounted_allocations: 0
refcounted_frees: 0
refcounted_in_use: 0
freelist_size: 0
persistent_count: 29397
persistent_bytes: 5183536
As can be seen from the counters, with a generic KASAN config, refcounted
allocations and evictions are no longer used. Due to using variable-sized
records, I observe a reduction of 278 stack depot pools (saving 4448 KiB)
with my test setup.
