Here is the branch:
https://github.com/eddyz87/bpf/tree/tp-buffer-negative-offset
It is the current bpf-next HEAD [1] plus patches #1,2 and a revert of patch #1.

I have KASAN enabled, the test is passing:

#317     raw_tp_writable_reject_nbd_invalid:OK

[1] c3d5ef291a2a ("selftests/bpf: Add test for scalar id on sign-extending 
stack fill")
