No, I didn't - I don't have anything set up for upstream arm64 testing here.

#GP can occur for various reasons, but on x86-64, if it occurs because
of an invalid address, as far as I know it's always non-canonical. The
#GP handler I wrote will check the address and only call the KASAN
hook if the address is noncanonical (because otherwise the #GP
occurred for some other reason).

Okay, I'll copy that naming.

Alright, I'll try to move it over.
