Hi Lecopzer,

thanks for working on this! I need this support too.

Where is this actually mapped?

Can you print out where
kasan_mem_to_shadow((void *)VMALLOC_START)
kasan_mem_to_shadow((void *)VMALLOC_END)
as well as KASAN_SHADOW_START and KASAN_SHADOW_END
points?

When I looked into this getting the shadow memory between
KASAN_SHADOW_START and KASAN_SHADOW_END
seemed like the big problem since this is static, so how is Kasan
solving this now?

Please patch the picture in
include/asm/kasan_def.h
and the info in
Documentation/arm/memory.rst
so it clearly reflects where VMALLOC is shadowed.

Yours,
