Hi Haibo,

I thought this should be covered by the kasan_non_canonical_hook
handler, which prints some additional information about how the GPF
could be caused by accessing shadow memory.

Does it not work in your case? It might be that we need to add
kasan_non_canonical_hook to some other arm64 internal fault handler
functions then.

Thanks!
