[PATCH 2/6 v14] ARM: Disable KASan instrumentation for some code

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin at virtuozzo.com>

Disable instrumentation for arch/arm/boot/compressed/*
since that code is executed before the kernel has even
set up its mappings and definately out of scope for
KASan.

Disable instrumentation of arch/arm/vdso/* because that code
is not linked with the kernel image, so the KASan management
code would fail to link.

Disable instrumentation of arch/arm/mm/physaddr.c. See commit
ec6d06efb0ba ("arm64: Add support for CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL")
for more details.

Disable kasan check in the function unwind_pop_register because
it does not matter that kasan checks failed when unwind_pop_register()
reads the stack memory of a task.

ChangeLog v10->v11:
- Resend with the other changes.
ChangeLog v9->v10:
- Rebase on v5.8-rc1
ChangeLog v8->v9:
- Collect Ard's tags.
ChangeLog v7->v8:
- Do not sanitize arch/arm/mm/mmu.c.
  Apart from being intuitively correct, it turns out that KASan
  will insert a __asan_load4() into the set_pte_at() function
  in mmu.c and this is something that KASan calls in the early
  initialization, to set up the shadow memory. Naturally,
  __asan_load4() cannot be called before the shadow memory is
  set up so we need to exclude mmu.c from sanitization.
ChangeLog v6->v7:
- Removed the KVM instrumentaton disablement since KVM
  on ARM32 is gone.
