Thanks for your suggestions.
I will refactor them in v2.

I tend to keep KASAN_SW_TAGS_IDENTIFY and KASAN_HW_TAGS_IDENTIFY
separately.
We need these two configs to decide how many stacks we will store.
If we store as many stacks as SW tag-based kasan does(5 stacks), we might
mistake out-of-bound issues for use-after-free sometime. Becuase HW
tag-based kasan only has 16 kinds of tags. When Out-of-bound issues happened, it might
find the same tag in the stack we just stored and mistake happened.
There is high probability that this mistake will happen.

Yes, moving them into tags.c will be better.
I will refactor in v2.

I think my v1 patch sets KASAN_NR_FREE_STACKS to 5 is not suitable.
The same reason as above.
I am thinking to store 2 or 1 stacks is acceptable in HW tag-based kasan mode.
Does it make sense?
Any suggetions are appreciated.

I got your point.
I will refactor them in v2.
