Subject: [PATCH] mm, kasan: introduce a special shadow value for allocator metadata
Add a special shadow value to distinguish accesses to KASAN-specific
allocator metadata.
Unlike AddressSanitizer in the userspace, KASAN lets the kernel proceed
after a memory error. However a write to the kmalloc metadata may cause
memory corruptions that will make the tool itself unreliable and induce
crashes later on. Warning about such corruptions will ease the
debugging.
