Cuando KASAN est\u00e1 en uso, se deja una sombra envenenada para cada uno de los marcos de pila activos y cuando las pilas de llamadas de sombra est\u00e1n en uso. Cuando se utilizan pilas de llamadas ocultas (SCS), el SCS SP guardado de la tarea se deja apuntando a un punto arbitrario dentro de la pila de llamadas ocultas de la tarea. Cuando una CPU est\u00e1 desconectada y luego conectada nuevamente al kernel, este estado obsoleto puede afectar negativamente la ejecuci\u00f3n. La sombra de KASAN obsoleta puede generar alias en nuevos marcos de pila y generar advertencias de KASAN falsas. Un SCS SP obsoleto es efectivamente una p\u00e9rdida de memoria e impide que se utilice una parte de la pila de llamadas ocultas. Despu\u00e9s de varios ciclos de conexi\u00f3n en caliente, toda la pila de llamadas ocultas de la tarea inactiva puede quedar inutilizable. Anteriormente solucionamos el problema de KASAN en el commit: e1b77c92981a5222 (\\\"sched/kasan: eliminar el veneno de KASAN obsoleto despu\u00e9s de la conexi\u00f3n en caliente\\\")... eliminando cualquier veneno de pila de KASAN obsoleto inmediatamente antes de conectar una CPU. Posteriormente, en El commit: f1a0a376ca0c4ef1 (\\\"sched/core: Inicialice la tarea inactiva con la preferencia deshabilitada\\\")... la refactorizaci\u00f3n dej\u00f3 la limpieza de KASAN y SCS en un c\u00f3digo de inicializaci\u00f3n de subproceso inactivo de una sola vez en lugar de algo invocado antes de que cada CPU se conectara. rompiendo ambos como arriba. Arreglamos SCS (pero no KASAN) en El commit: 63acd42c0d4942f7 (\\\"sched/scs: restablecer la pila de sombra cuando idle_task_exit\\\")... pero como esto se ejecuta en el contexto de la tarea inactiva que est\u00e1 fuera de l\u00ednea, es potencialmente fr\u00e1gil. Para solucionar estos problemas de manera consistente y m\u00e1s s\u00f3lida, restablezca la sombra SCS SP y KASAN de la tarea inactiva de una CPU inmediatamente antes de conectar esa CPU en Bringup_cpu(). Esto garantiza que la tarea inactiva siempre tenga un estado consistente cuando se est\u00e1 ejecutando y elimina la necesidad de tenerlo al salir de una tarea inactiva. Siempre que se crea un subproceso, dup_task_struct() le dar\u00e1 a la tarea una pila que est\u00e1 libre de sombra KASAN e inicializar\u00e1 el SP SCS de la tarea, por lo que no hay necesidad de inicializar especialmente ninguno de los subprocesos inactivos dentro de init_idle(), ya que esto solo era necesario para manejar ciclos de conexi\u00f3n en caliente.
