As far as I can tell, this is a Clang bug. But I don't know the
internals here, so I've opened:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46478

and created a work-around patch for the kernel:


commit 915f2c343e59a14f00c68f4d7afcfdc621de0674
Author: Kees Cook <keesc...@chromium.org>
Date:   Sat Jun 27 08:07:54 2020 -0700

    vmlinux.lds.h: Avoid KCSAN's unwanted sections
    
    KCSAN (-fsanitize=thread) produces unwanted[1] .eh_frame and .init_array.*
    sections. Add them to DISCARDS, except with CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS, which
    wants to keep .init_array.* sections.
