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.
