If you pipe the Code: from the original report into decodecode you get:

$ echo "Code: 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f 5d c3 e8 89 f1 98 ff 4c 8b 25 32 cb

I find only two places that plausibly match this:

372: 5b pop %rbx
373: 41 5c pop %r12
375: 41 5d pop %r13
377: 41 5e pop %r14
379: 41 5f pop %r15
37b: 5d pop %rbp

384: 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 movabs $0xdffffc0000000000,%rax
38b: fc ff df
38e: 49 8d 7d 48 lea 0x48(%r13),%rdi
392: 48 89 fa mov %rdi,%rdx
395: 48 c1 ea 03 shr $0x3,%rdx
399: 80 3c 02 00 cmpb $0x0,(%rdx,%rax,1)
39d: 0f 85 94 02 00 00 jne 637 <big_key_preparse+0x417>
3a3: 4d 8b 6d 48 mov 0x48(%r13),%r13
3a7: 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 movabs $0xdffffc0000000000,%rax
3ae: fc ff df

(this is most likely it since it matches with the pops+ret as well)

and

47d: 4c 8b 25 00 00 00 00 mov 0x0(%rip),%r12 # 484
<big_key_preparse+0x264>
484: 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 movabs $0xdffffc0000000000,%rax
48b: fc ff df
48e: 49 8d 7c 24 48 lea 0x48(%r12),%rdi
493: 48 89 fa mov %rdi,%rdx
496: 48 c1 ea 03 shr $0x3,%rdx
49a: 80 3c 02 00 cmpb $0x0,(%rdx,%rax,1)
49e: 0f 85 04 02 00 00 jne 6a8 <big_key_preparse+0x488>
4a4: 49 8b 44 24 48 mov 0x48(%r12),%rax
4a9: 48 ba 00 00 00 00 00 movabs $0xdffffc0000000000,%rdx
4b0: fc ff df

That's:

$ addr2line -e security/keys/big_key.o -i 399
include/linux/crypto.h:628
include/linux/crypto.h:1188
security/keys/big_key.c:143

$ addr2line -e security/keys/big_key.o -i 49a
include/crypto/rng.h:112
include/crypto/rng.h:143
include/crypto/rng.h:160
security/keys/big_key.c:84
security/keys/big_key.c:160

Keep in mind that the faulting dereference is a byte comparison
(whereas the dereferences pointed to by those lines should all be
wider) and in fact comes from KASAN itself (KASAN_INLINE). So the
important thing to look for here is probably the dereference offset
0x48(%r12) which corresponds to the crypto_tfm->__crt_alg dereference,
and you see that %r12 is 0 which probably means the tfm is NULL.
