Correct.

Around 7% of code size is what I see (you can have the same single
instruction for a call, but it may cost some register allocation
troubles).

Will do!

The instrumentation allows to control whether we can proceed after a
crash was detected. This is done by passing the -recover flag to the
compiler. Disabling recovery allows to generate more compact code.

Unfortunately disabling recovery doesn't work for the kernel right
now. KHWASAN reporting is disabled in some contexts (for example when
the allocator accesses slab object metadata; same is true for KASAN;
this is controlled by current->kasan_depth). All these accesses are
detected by the tool, even though the reports for them are not
printed.

This is something that might be fixed at some point in the future, so
I think it makes sense to leave this check as is.

I'll add a comment with explanations though.

I saw BUG handler using this (which also inserts a brk), so I used it
as well. What should I do instead to jump over the faulting brk
instruction?

Thanks!
