Andrey Konovalov 928501344f kasan, mm: don't save alloc stacks twice
Patch series "kasan: optimizations and fixes for HW_TAGS", v4.

This patchset makes the HW_TAGS mode more efficient, mostly by reworking
poisoning approaches and simplifying/inlining some internal helpers.

With this change, the overhead of HW_TAGS annotations excluding setting
and checking memory tags is ~3%.  The performance impact caused by tags
will be unknown until we have hardware that supports MTE.

As a side-effect, this patchset speeds up generic KASAN by ~15%.

This patch (of 13):

Currently KASAN saves allocation stacks in both kasan_slab_alloc() and
kasan_kmalloc() annotations.  This patch changes KASAN to save allocation
stacks for slab objects from kmalloc caches in kasan_kmalloc() only, and
stacks for other slab objects in kasan_slab_alloc() only.

This change requires ____kasan_kmalloc() knowing whether the object
belongs to a kmalloc cache.  This is implemented by adding a flag field to
the kasan_info structure.  That flag is only set for kmalloc caches via a
new kasan_cache_create_kmalloc() annotation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
