KASAN debug kernel fails to boot at early stage when CONFIG_SMP=y is set (kernel 6.5-rc5, PowerMac G4 3,6)

Ah ok, maybe your CPU only has 4 BATs and they are all used, following 
change would tell us.

  	}

  	return -1;
  }


Or you have 8 BATs in which case it's an alignment problem, you need to 
increase CONFIG_DATA_SHIFT to 23, for that you need CONFIG_ADVANCED and 
CONFIG_DATA_SHIFT_BOOL

But regardless of that there is a problem we need to find out, because 
it should work without BATs.

As the BATs allocation fails, it falls back to :

	phys = memblock_phys_alloc_range(k_end - k_start, PAGE_SIZE, 0,
						 MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE);
		if (!phys)
			return -ENOMEM;
	}

	ret = kasan_init_shadow_page_tables(k_start, k_end);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	for (k_cur = k_start; k_cur < k_end; k_cur += PAGE_SIZE) {
		pmd_t *pmd = pmd_off_k(k_cur);
		pte_t pte = pfn_pte(PHYS_PFN(phys + k_cur - k_start), PAGE_KERNEL);

		__set_pte_at(&init_mm, k_cur, pte_offset_kernel(pmd, k_cur), pte, 0);
	}
	flush_tlb_kernel_range(k_start, k_end);
	memset(kasan_mem_to_shadow(start), 0, k_end - k_start);


While the __weak function that you confirmed working is:

	ret = kasan_init_shadow_page_tables(k_start, k_end);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	block = memblock_alloc(k_end - k_start, PAGE_SIZE);
	if (!block)
		return -ENOMEM;

	for (k_cur = k_start & PAGE_MASK; k_cur < k_end; k_cur += PAGE_SIZE) {
		pmd_t *pmd = pmd_off_k(k_cur);
		void *va = block + k_cur - k_start;
		pte_t pte = pfn_pte(PHYS_PFN(__pa(va)), PAGE_KERNEL);

		__set_pte_at(&init_mm, k_cur, pte_offset_kernel(pmd, k_cur), pte, 0);
	}
	flush_tlb_kernel_range(k_start, k_end);


I'm having hard time to understand what's could be wrong at the first place.

Could you try following change:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/mm/kasan/book3s_32.c
