I'm using a powerpc64 toolchain to build both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels 
(from https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ )

Another thing, did you test PTDUMP stuff with KASAN ? It looks like 
KASAN address markers don't depend on PPC32, but are only initialised by 
populate_markers() for PPC32.

Regarding kasan.h, I think we should be able to end up with something 
where the definition of KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET should only depend on the 
existence of CONFIG_KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET, and where only 
KASAN_SHADOW_SIZE should depend on the target (ie PPC32 or BOOK3S64)
Everything else should be common. KASAN_END should be START+SIZE.

It looks like what you have called KASAN_SHADOW_SIZE is not similar to 
what is called KASAN_SHADOW_SIZE for PPC32, as yours only covers the 
SHADOW_SIZE for linear mem while PPC32 one covers the full space.
