Can you provide KASAN enabled kernel packages?

Hello.
I just browsed at Bug 1720263, for it showed an interesting oops line.
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffffffffe1
IP: security_vm_enough_memory_mm+0x38/0x60
PGD a72c0c067
P4D a72c0c067
PUD a72c0e067
PMD 0
Address is in error code range and PGD == P4D == PUD, but I don't see
suspicious line in security_vm_enough_memory_mm().
Just rebooting caused another oops.
[ 7.140126] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000009003df6
[ 7.140152] IP: security_file_free+0x22/0x40
[ 7.140162] PGD 0
[ 7.140163] P4D 0
Thus, it might be some memory corruption error (including possibility of
use-after-free bug).
The reporter is going to try mainline kernels. But I think that trying KASAN
enabled version of the same kernel version (i.e. 4.13.0-12-generic #13-Ubuntu)
would also help.
I think it would be nice if a user can install KASAN enabled kernel package and
try reproducing the problem when that user hit "BUG: unable to handle kernel
paging request at" oops, by providing KASAN enabled version from distributors.
By the way, a totally unrelated topic, "The Precise Pangolin (supported) " is
still there at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux . As far as I know,
Precise is already EOL'ed. Any reason you keep showing EOL'ed versions there?
