Thanks for your review. I'm sorry that my replay is so late.

I don't think L_PTE_MT_WRITETHROUGH is need for all arm soc. So I think kasan's
mapping can use PAGE_KERNEL which can be initialized for different arm soc and 
__pgprot(pgprot_val(PAGE_KERNEL) | L_PTE_RDONLY)).

I don't think the mapping table flags in kasan_early_init need be changed because of the follow reason:
1) PAGE_KERNEL can't be used in early_kasan_init because the pgprot_kernel which is used to define 
  PAGE_KERNEL doesn't be initialized. 

2) all of the kasan shadow's mapping table is going to be created again in kasan_init function.


All what I say is: I think only the mapping table flags in kasan_init function need to be changed into PAGE_KERNEL 
or  __pgprot(pgprot_val(PAGE_KERNEL) | L_PTE_RDONLY)).
