And please see below for an alleged fix.

commit 81e24ca26ee9933bcacf67a61e3f6ae41a025442
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
Date: Thu Jun 16 09:30:37 2022 -0700

context_tracking: Use arch_atomic_read() in __ct_state for KASAN

Context tracking's __ct_state() function can be invoked from noinstr state
where RCU is not watching. This means that its use of atomic_read()
causes KASAN to invoke the non-noinstr __kasan_check_read() function
from the noinstr function __ct_state(). This is problematic because
someone tracing the __kasan_check_read() function could get a nasty
surprise because of RCU not watching.

This commit therefore replaces the __ct_state() function's use of
atomic_read() with arch_atomic_read(), which KASAN does not attempt to
add instrumention to.
