Patch series "kasan, vmalloc, arm64: add vmalloc tagging support for SW/HW_TAGS", v6. This patchset adds vmalloc tagging support for SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS KASAN modes. 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. This patch (of 39): Currently, should_skip_kasan_poison() has two definitions: one for when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, one for when it's not. Instead of duplicating the checks, add a deferred_pages_enabled() helper and use it in a single should_skip_kasan_poison() definition. Also move should_skip_kasan_poison() closer to its caller and clarify all conditions in the comment.

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.
