I tried to fix the KASAN issue, and I'm doing something wrong.  I'm
building this tree:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/commit/?h=x86/entry_stack&id=8319677bd04a1ab291ca71fe1da7aa023306e4a9

for 64 bits with KASAN on.  The relevant commit is:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/commit/?h=x86/entry_stack&id=a4bdb48c3469708b6b51e5ab90d27bf0c859000c

If I run tools/testing/selftests/single_step_syscall_32, then the
kernel goes into lala land and infinite loops.  The root cause seems
to we're hitting do_debug with RSP pointing into the fixmap,
specifically in the cpu_entry_area's exception stack, with a value of
roughly 0xffffffffff1bd108.  The KASAN instrumentation in do_debug is
then getting a page fault.  I think my KASAN setup code should be
populating the KASAN data there and, indeed, gdb seems to be able to
access the faulting address.  So I'm confused.

Help?
