So I still cannot reproduce it even with your latest config:

# arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o:

text data bss dec hex filename
11530 0 0 11530 2d0a entry_64.o.before
11530 0 0 11530 2d0a entry_64.o.after

md5:
1430e793250d5d8572bc2df2997d3929 entry_64.o.before.asm
1430e793250d5d8572bc2df2997d3929 entry_64.o.after.asm

but I saw this during the build:

scripts/Makefile.kasan:23: CONFIG_KASAN: compiler does not support all options. Trying minimal configuration

is your KASAN build more fully enabled, and does the problem reproduce with
CONFIG_KASAN turned off?

Thanks,

Ingo
