It's absolutely unusable:( https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67368
If we add it here, it won't built because of: '__always_inline __read_once_size()'

But, I think I have the solution.
We could have some blacklist - list of function names which we should be ignored.
In kasan_report() we could resolve return address to function name and compare it with name in list.
If name in list -> ignore report.
