I took your config from "Replace _PAGE_NUMA with PAGE_NONE protections" thread.
I've noticed that you have both KASAN and UBSAN enabled.
I didn't try them together, though it could work with patch bellow.
But it should hang much earlier then you see, without this patch.

Subject: [PATCH] kasan: don't use ubsan's instrumentation for kasan internals

kasan do unaligned access for checking shadow memory faster.
If ubsan is also enabled this will lead to unbound recursion:
__asan_load* -> __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch -> __asan_load* -> ...

Disable ubsan's instrumentation for kasan.c to avoid that.
