The kernel doesn't boot with both PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES=y and KASAN=y options selected. With branch profiling enabled we end up calling ftrace_likely_update() before kasan_early_init(). ftrace_likely_update() built with KASAN instrumentation, so calling it before kasan has been initialized leads to crash. Use DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING define to make sure that we don't call ftrace_likely_update() from early code before kasan_early_init().
