GCC9 is awesome which reduced the numbers in half even for KASAN_EXTRA. Only thing is that GCC9 has not been officially released yet, so it is a bit inconvenient for users need to compile the compiler by themselves first. I am fine either way to drop this patch or keep it until GCC9 is GA. [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715#c35
