I was thinking of treewide wrappers, given that there are only a couple of files
calling kasan_check_write():

$ git grep -wl kasan_check_write
arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h
arch/arm64/include/asm/uaccess.h
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h
include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h
include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-atomic.h
include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-lock.h
include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-non-atomic.h
include/linux/kasan-checks.h
include/linux/uaccess.h
lib/iov_iter.c
lib/strncpy_from_user.c
lib/usercopy.c
scripts/atomic/gen-atomic-instrumented.sh

Are there any that really just want kasan_check_write() but not one
of the kcsan checks?
