I got the warning in my local compilation and from kernel CI [1].
arch/um places kasan_init() in own `.kasan_init` section, while
kasan_init_generic() is called from __init.
Could you suggest a way how I can verify the functions call order?
I need to familiarize myself with how to run arch/um locally and try
to fix this warning.
