There is also copy_user_highpage.

And ioread/write8/16/32_rep: do we need any instrumentation there. It
seems we want both KSAN and KCSAN too. One may argue that KCSAN
instrumentation there is to super critical at this point, but KASAN
instrumentation is important, if anything to prevent silent memory
corruptions. How do we instrument there? I don't see how it maps to
any of the existing instrumentation functions.

There is also kmsan_check_skb/kmsan_handle_dma/kmsan_handle_urb that
does not seem to map to any of the instrumentation functions.
