If we check shadow address before invalid access,
we get below message before oops:
"
BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in do_ib_ob+0xf4/0x110
Read of size 8 at addr caffff80aaaaaaaa by task sh/100
"

We get below message while using kasan_non_canonical_hook:
"
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffff80aaaaaaaa
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xfffffc0aaaaaaaa0-0xfffffc0aaaaaaaaf]
"

Both indicate the original accessed address which causes oops.

Thanks.
Shall I send a new patch to fix this problem by using kasan_non_canonical_hook
