CONFIG_RELOCATABLE and CONFIG_KASAN cannot be enabled at the same time
on ppce500 fsl_booke. All functions called before kasan_early_init()
should be disabled with kasan check. When CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled
on ppce500 fsl_booke, relocate_init() is called before kasan_early_init()
which triggers kasan check and results in boot failure.
Call trace and functions which triggers kasan check(*):
ÂÂ - _start
ÂÂÂ - set_ivor
ÂÂÂÂ - relocate_init(*)
ÂÂÂÂÂ - early_get_first_memblock_info(*)
ÂÂÂÂÂÂ - of_scan_flat_dt(*)
ÂÂÂÂ...
ÂÂÂÂ - kasan_early_init

Potential solutions could be 1. implement relocate_init and all its children
function in a seperate file or 2. introduce a global vairable in KASAN, only
enable KASAN check when init is done.

Solution 1 seems uneasy. of_scan_flat_dt() and children are general functions that can't be set aside.
Solution 2 would destroy performance, and would anyway not work with inline instrumentation.

Have you tried moving the call to kasan_early_init() before the call of relocate_init() ?

I just tried it with QEMU, it works. I'll send a patch out soon.

On other PPC32, kasan_early_init() is the first thing done after activating the MMU. But AFAIU, MMU is always active on BOOKE though.

Disable KASAN when RELOCATABLE is selected on fsl_booke for now until
it is supported.
