Thanks!

[ Which tree are you planning to take it through? ]

Gah, I was intending for it to go through -mm, then I cc'd neither
Andrew nor linux-mm... :/ Andrew, do you want me to resend or can you
grab it from LKML?

(assuming you still want it through somewhere else)

Note, arch/riscv/include/asm/kasan.h mentions KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET in
comment (copied from arm64). Did RISC-V just forget to copy over the
Kconfig option?

I do see it defined in that file as well but you are right that they did
not copy the Kconfig logic, even though it was present in the tree when
RISC-V KASAN was implemented. Perhaps they should so that they get
access to the other flags in the "else" branch?

Ya, looks like we just screwed this up. I'm seeing some warnings like

cc1: warning: ‘-fsanitize=kernel-address’ with stack protection is not supported without ‘-fasan-shadow-offset=’ for this target

which is how I ended up here, I'm assuming that's what you're talking about here? LMK if you were planning on sending along a fix or if you want me to go figure it out.
