asan-rt uses __builtin_return_address(0) to get the full stack trace.
See compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_stack.cc (AsanStackTrace::FastUnwindStack)
It checks the current thread's stack bounds to avoid a wild dereference.

Asan does not use unsafe __builtin_return_address(N, N>0), although it
would be nice if __builtin_return_address(N, N>0) had safer semantics.
