Subject: [PATCH 29/31] kasan, arm64: allow KASAN_VMALLOC with HW_TAGS

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@...gle.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.

-	  By default, the shadow region for vmalloc space is the read-only

-	  Enabling this option will hook in to vmap/vmalloc and back those
-	  mappings with real shadow memory allocated on demand. This allows
-	  for KASAN to detect more sorts of errors (and to support vmapped
-	  stacks), but at the cost of higher memory usage.
+	  This mode makes KASAN check accesses to vmalloc allocations for
+	  validity.
+
+	  With software KASAN modes, checking is done for all types of vmalloc
+	  allocations. Enabling this option leads to higher memory usage.
+
+	  With hardware tag-based KASAN, only VM_ALLOC mappings are checked.
+	  There is no additional memory usage.
