When CONFIG_KASAN is set, clang decides to use memset() to set
the first two struct members in this function:

 static inline void sas_ss_reset(struct task_struct *p)
 {
        p->sas_ss_sp = 0;
        p->sas_ss_size = 0;
        p->sas_ss_flags = SS_DISABLE;
 }

and that is called from save_altstack_ex(). Adding a barrier() after
the sas_ss_sp() works around the issue, but is certainly not the
best solution. Any other ideas?
