To match lib/string.c: $> grep EXPORT_SYMBOL lib/string.c ... EXPORT_SYMBOL(memset); ... EXPORT_SYMBOL(memcpy); EXPORT_SYMBOL(memmove); ... Note that these __asan/__hwasan calls are generated by the compiler, in place of the above. On a more fundamental level, KASAN is low level enough that being _GPL would probably cause headaches for valid use cases. For example, so that vendors can use KASAN on their however licensed modules - wherever those non-GPL modules may be used, precluding use of KASAN there would make the quality of these things even worse.
