Thanks.
The patch checks each shadow address,so it introduces extra overhead.
Now kasan_non_canonical_hook only works for CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE.
And CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE is set in my case.
Is it possible to make kasan_non_canonical_hook works for both 
INLINE and OUTLINE by simply remove the "#ifdef CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE"?
Since kasan_non_canonical_hook is only used after kernel fault,it 
is better if there is no limit.
