Subject: [PATCH 29/31] kasan, arm64: allow KASAN_VMALLOC with HW_TAGS
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2021 23:08:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8afdf7eb0bae77d2e94210d689d524580cf5ed9a.1638308023.git.andreyknvl@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1638308023.git.andreyknvl@google.com>

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

vmalloc tagging support for HW_TAGS KASAN is now complete.

Allow enabling CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC.

Also adjust CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC description:

- Mention HW_TAGS support.
- Remove unneeded internal details: they have no place in Kconfig
  description and are already explained in the documentation.

+
+	  With software KASAN modes, checking is done for all types of vmalloc

+
+	  With hardware tag-based KASAN, only VM_ALLOC mappings are checked.
