For some unaligned memory accesses we have to check additional byte of the shadow memory. Currently we load that byte speculatively to have only single load + branch on the optimistic fast path. However, this approach has some downsides: - It's unaligned access, so this prevents porting KASAN on architectures which doesn't support unaligned accesses. - We have to map additional shadow page to prevent crash if speculative load happens near the end of the mapped memory. This would significantly complicate upcoming memory hotplug support. I wasn't able to notice any performance degradation with this patch. So these speculative loads is just a pain with no gain, let's remove them.
