Correct, this value passed to GCC.

It's fine. KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET address is shadow address that corresponds to 0 address.
So KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET could be dereferenced only if we have NULL-ptr derefernce in kernel.

Shadow for kernel addresses starts from KASAN_SHADOW_START constant,
which is defined in arch/arm64/include/asm/kasan.h. But since I forgot to 'git add' that file
it's not present in this patch.

arch/arm64/include/asm/kasan.h:

/*
 * Compiler uses shadow offset assuming that addresses start
 * from 0. Kernel addresses don't start from 0, so shadow
 * for kernel really starts from 'compiler's shadow offset' +
 * ('kernel address space start' >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT)
 */
#define KASAN_SHADOW_START      (KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET + \
					((UL(0xffffffffffffffff) << (VA_BITS)) >> 3))

#define KASAN_SHADOW_END        (KASAN_SHADOW_START + (1ULL << (VA_BITS - 3)))

Ok.

System's zero page allocated in paging_init() and that is too late.
But I could put system's zero page into bss and use it here if you ok with this.

Right. Will fix.

It should be read-only, but only after kasan_init().
It should be writable earlier because stack instrumentation writes to shadow memory.
In function's prologue compiler writes to shadow to poison redzones around stack variables.

I don't need it. This is some left-over that should be removed.

I need to remove references to kasan_zero_p* tables from swapper_pg_dir so
pgd_clear() will not work here because it's noop on CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVEL <= 3.

Ok.

To setup shadow memory properly we need to unmap early shadow first (clear_pgds() in next line).

But instrumented kernel cannot run with unmaped shadow so this temporary
page table with early shadow until setting up shadow in swapper_pg_dir
will be finished.
I'll add comment about this here.

Thank you for detailed review.
