-fsanitize=kernel-address (KASAN) is at the moment incompatible with named address spaces - see GCC PR sanitizer/111736: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111736 GCC is doing a KASAN check on a percpu address which it shouldn't do, and didn't used to do because we did the access using inline asm. But now that GCC does the accesses as normal (albeit special address space) memory accesses, the KASAN code triggers on them too, and it all goes to hell in a handbasket very quickly. Those percpu accessor functions need to disable any KASAN checking or other sanitizer checking. Not on the percpu address, because that's not a "real" address, it's obviously just the offset from the segment register. And GCC should probably not have generated such code in the first place, so arguably this is a bug with -fsanitize=kernel-address. The patch also removes a stale dependency on CONFIG_SMP.

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.
