Linux support KAsan for VMALLOC since commit 3c5c3cfb9e
("kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memory")
Like how the MODULES_VADDR does now, just not to early populate
the VMALLOC_START between VMALLOC_END.
Before:
MODULE_VADDR: no mapping, no zero shadow at init
VMALLOC_VADDR: backed with zero shadow at init
After:
MODULE_VADDR: no mapping, no zero shadow at init
VMALLOC_VADDR: no mapping, no zero shadow at init
Thus the mapping will get allocated on demand by the core function
of KASAN_VMALLOC.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
