Hi,

This patchset adds vmalloc tagging support for SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS
KASAN modes.

The tree with patches is available here:

https://github.com/xairy/linux/tree/up-kasan-vmalloc-tags-v3-akpm

About half of patches are cleanups I went for along the way. None of
them seem to be important enough to go through stable, so I decided
not to split them out into separate patches/series.

The patchset is partially based on an early version of the HW_TAGS
patchset by Vincenzo that had vmalloc support. Thus, I added a
Co-developed-by tag into a few patches.

SW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support is straightforward. It reuses all of
the generic KASAN machinery, but uses shadow memory to store tags
instead of magic values. Naturally, vmalloc tagging requires adding
a few kasan_reset_tag() annotations to the vmalloc code.

HW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support stands out. HW_TAGS KASAN is based on
Arm MTE, which can only assigns tags to physical memory. As a result,
HW_TAGS KASAN only tags vmalloc() allocations, which are backed by
page_alloc memory. It ignores vmap() and others.

Changes in v2->v3:
- Rebase onto mm.
- New patch: "kasan, arm64: reset pointer tags of vmapped stacks".
- New patch: "kasan, vmalloc: don't tag executable vmalloc allocations".
- New patch: "kasan, arm64: don't tag executable vmalloc allocations".
- Allowing enabling KASAN_VMALLOC with SW/HW_TAGS is moved to
  "kasan: allow enabling KASAN_VMALLOC and SW/HW_TAGS", as this can only
  be done once executable allocations are no longer tagged.
- Minor fixes, see patches for lists of changes.

Changes in v1->v2:
- Move memory init for vmalloc() into vmalloc code for HW_TAGS KASAN.
- Minor fixes and code reshuffling, see patches for lists of changes.

Thanks!
