bisect points to commit 235a93822a21 ("locking/atomics, asm-generic: Add KASAN
instrumentation to atomic operations"), RIP is at
tmp = cmpxchg64_local(&pte->val, 0ULL, pteval);
in drivers/iommu/intel-iommu.c. The assembly for this inline assembly
is:
xor %edx,%edx
xor %eax,%eax
cmpxchg %rbx,(%rdx)

and as you see edx is set to zero and used later as a pointer via the
full register. This happens with gcc-6, 5 and 8 (snapshot from last
week).
After a longer while of searching and swearing I figured out that this
bug occures once cmpxchg64_local() and cmpxchg_local() uses the same
____ptr macro and they are shadow somehow. What I don't know why edx is
set to zero.
