Thanks for looking at this: I've finally had the time to go through
this in detail again, and have sent out v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220630074757.2739000-2-davidgow@google.com/

Given this patch has already been accepted, I dropped this comment
from v3. As you note, the issue didn't reproduce totally
consistently.

I've got rid of this for v3, thanks.

I had a quick look into this, and think it's probably best left as-is.
I think it's better to have the same implementation of these
functions, regardless of whether KASAN is enabled. And given that we
need the explicit, separate instrumented and uninstrumented versions,
we'd need some way of having one copy which came from libasan and one
which was totally uninstrumented.

But if the performance difference is really significant, we could
always revisit it.
