AFAIR, Arnd wanted to avoid having KASAN_STACK to be enabled by
default when compiling with Clang, since Clang instrumentation leads
to very large kernel stacks, which, in turn, lead to compile-time
warnings. What I don't remember is why there are two configs.

Arnd, is that correct? What was the reason behind having two configs?
