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-v5-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.

Thanks!

Changes in v4->v5:
- Rebase onto fresh mm.
- Mention optimization intention in the comment for __GFP_ZEROTAGS.
- Replace "kasan: simplify kasan_init_hw_tags" with "kasan: clean up
  feature flags for HW_TAGS mode".
- Use true as kasan_flag_vmalloc static key default.
- Cosmetic changes to __def_gfpflag_names_kasan and __GFP_BITS_SHIFT.

Changes in v3->v4:
- Rebase onto fresh mm.
- Rename KASAN_VMALLOC_NOEXEC to KASAN_VMALLOC_PROT_NORMAL.
- Compare prot with PAGE_KERNEL instead of using pgprot_nx() to
  indentify normal non-executable mappings.
- Rename arch_vmalloc_pgprot_modify() to arch_vmap_pgprot_tagged().
- Move checks from arch_vmap_pgprot_tagged() to __vmalloc_node_range()
  as the same condition is used for other things in subsequent patches.
- Use proper kasan_hw_tags_enabled() checks instead of
  IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS).
- Set __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON and __GFP_SKIP_ZERO flags instead of
  resetting.
- Only define KASAN GFP flags when when HW_TAGS KASAN is enabled.
- Move setting KASAN GFP flags to __vmalloc_node_range() and do it
  only for normal non-executable mapping when HW_TAGS KASAN is enabled.
- Add new GFP flags to include/trace/events/mmflags.h.
- Don't forget to save tagged addr to vm_struct->addr for VM_ALLOC
  so that find_vm_area(addr)->addr == addr for vmalloc().
- Reset pointer tag in change_memory_common().
- Add test checks for set_memory_*() on vmalloc() allocations.
- Minor patch descriptions and comments fixes.

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.
