This is not a compile issue. If the shift amount is a constant,
compiler should have warned and user should fix the warning.

This is because user code has
something like
     a << s;
where s is a unknown variable and
verifier just marked the result of a << s as unknown value.
Verifier may not reject the code depending on how a << s result
is used.

If bpf program writer uses check_shl_overflow() or some kind
of checking for shift value and won't do shifting if the
shifting may cause an undefined result, there should not
be any kubsan warning.
