The test expects the function name to be test_invalid_access, i. e.
the first line should be "BUG: KFENCE: invalid read in
test_invalid_access".
The error reporting function unwinds the stack, skips a couple of
"uninteresting" frames
(https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.12-rc1/source/mm/kfence/report.c#L43)
and uses the first "interesting" one frame to print the report header
(https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.12-rc1/source/mm/kfence/report.c#L226).
It's strange that test_invalid_access is missing altogether from the
stack trace - is that expected?
Can you try printing the whole stacktrace without skipping any frames
to see if that function is there?
