Thanks for picking this up. I was trying out KASan in the past,
got sidetracked and honestly lost interest a bit because it was
boring. But I do realize that it is really neat, so I will try to help
out with some review and test on a bunch of hardware I have.

At one point I even had this running on the ARMv4 SA1100
(no joke!) and if I recall correctly, I got stuck because of things
that might very well have been related to using a very fragile
Arm testchip that later broke down completely in the l2cache
when we added the spectre/meltdown fixes.

I start reviewing and testing.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
