I'm trying to test this on the Juno hardware (39 VA bits).

I get this at boot:

Virtual kernel memory layout:
    kasan   : 0xffffff8000000000 - 0xffffff9000000000   (    64 MB)
    vmalloc : 0xffffff9000000000 - 0xffffffbdbfff0000   (   182 GB)

Nice, kasan is shadowing vmem perfectly. Also
shadowing itself it appears, well whatever.

I enable CONFIG_KASAN, CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE,
CONFIG_STACKTRACE, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON,  and
CONFIG_TEST_KASAN.

I patch the test like this because I'm not using any loadable
modules:

          This is a test module doing various nasty things like
          out of bounds accesses, use after free. It is useful for testing

And then at boot I just get this:

kasan test: kmem_cache_oob out-of-bounds in kmem_cache_alloc
kasan test: kasan_stack_oob out-of-bounds on stack
kasan test: kasan_global_oob out-of-bounds global variable

W00t no nice KASan warnings (which is what I expect).

This is my compiler by the way:
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --version
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.9-2014.09 -
Linaro GCC 4.9-2014.09) 4.9.2 20140904 (prerelease)

I did the same exercise on the foundation model (FVP) and I guess
that is what you developed the patch set on because there I got
nice KASan dumps:

So it works nicely on emulated hardware it seems.

I wonder were the problem lies, any hints where to start looking
to fix this?
