riscv+KASAN does not boot

Hello,

I am considering setting up a syzbot instance for riscv arch (using
qemu emulation) and testing kernel config/image/etc. I can boot
defconfig+kvmconfig riscv kernel, but so far I can't get a booting
CONFIG_KASAN+CONFIG+KCOV kernel.

But first of all I would like to ask if the riscv port is stable
enough at this point and if there is interest in continuous fuzzing
and receiving bugs? If there is no interest, then the rest is not
worth spending time on.
Second, what git tree/branch should be used for testing (to find bugs
sooner and get fixes faster)?
Currently it seems that riscv/fixes is the most up-to-date branch with
most fixes, is it the right one?

Re non-booting kernel problem. If I do:
defconfig+kvm_guest.config+ scripts/config -e KASAN -e KASAN_INLINE
I only see OpenSBI banner and then nothing happens (qemu consumes 100% CPU).
I've tried on v5.10, current upstream head (71c5f03154ac) and
riscv/fixes (20620d72c31e). The result is the same.

I see this recent patch from Nylon:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/1606727599-8598-1-git-send-email-nylon7@andestech.com/
which suggests that KASAN is working for Nylon.

I am using qemu 5.1.0 as:

qemu-system-riscv64 \
-machine virt -bios default -smp 1 -m 2G \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
-drive file=buildroot-riscv64.ext4,if=none,format=raw,id=hd0 \
-kernel arch/riscv/boot/Image \
-nographic \
-device virtio-rng-device,rng=rng0 -object
rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \
-netdev user,id=net0,host=10.0.2.10,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 -device
virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 \
-append "root=/dev/vda earlyprintk=serial console=ttyS0 oops=panic
panic_on_warn=1 panic=86400"

I've also tried this config (slightly larger than defconfig, but does
NOT include KASAN nor KCOV):

and this is the ultimate large config that I would like to use:

Both of them hang after the OpenSBI banner in the same way.

Is it a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?

TIA
