Sure, will do.

Besides Kconfig dependencies I might need to disable instrumentation in some places.
For example kasan doesn't play well with kmemleak. Kmemleak may look for pointers inside redzones
and kasan treats this as an error.

It's buildable. At this point you can't select CONFIG_KASAN = y because there is no
arch that supports kasan (HAVE_ARCH_KASAN config). But after x86 patches kernel could be
build and run with kasan. At that point kasan will be able to catch only "wild" memory
accesses (when someone outside mm/kasan/* tries to access shadow memory).

Hm... "../slab.h" is not needed in this file. linux/slab.h is enough here.

No, not too early. kasan_init_shadow which switches this flag called just after jump_label_init,
so it's not a problem for static_key, but there is another one.
I tried static key here. I works really well for arm, but it has some problems on x86.
While switching static key by calling static_key_slow_inc, the first byte of static key is replaced with
breakpoint (look at text_poke_bp()). After that, at first memory access __asan_load/__asan_store called and
we are executing this breakpoint from the code that trying to update that instruction.

text_poke_bp()
{
	....
	//replace first byte with breakpoint
		....
			___asan_load*()
				....
				if (static_key_false(&kasan_initlized)) <-- static key update still in progress
		....
	//patching code done
}

To make static_key work on x86 I need to disable instrumentation in text_poke_bp() and in any other functions that called from it.
It might be a big problem if text_poke_bp uses some very generic functions.

Another better option would be to get rid of kasan_initilized check in kasan_enabled():
static inline bool kasan_enabled(void)
{
	return likely(kasan_initialized
		&& !current->kasan_depth);
}

that's the plan for future.

For now only  kasan_shadow_start and kasan_shadow_offset need to be global.
It also should be possible to get rid of using kasan_shadow_start in kasan_shadow_to_mem(), and make it static

Seems I need to do some work for sparsemem configurations.

Not sure. Do we always have current available? I assume it should be initialized at some point of boot process.
I will check that.

As already Sasha reported it will panic in memblock_alloc.

I think hiding it into
 if (spin_trylock) { ... }

would be enough.
I think it might be a good idea to add option for reporting only first error.
It will be usefull for some cases (for example strlen on not null terminated string makes kasan crazy)

Thanks for review
