Subject: [PATCH v6 31/39] kasan, vmalloc: only tag normal vmalloc allocations

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

The kernel can use to allocate executable memory. The only supported way
to do that is via __vmalloc_node_range() with the executable bit set in
the prot argument. (vmap() resets the bit via pgprot_nx()).

Once tag-based KASAN modes start tagging vmalloc allocations, executing
code from such allocations will lead to the PC register getting a tag,
which is not tolerated by the kernel.

Only tag the allocations for normal kernel pages.

Signed-off-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@...gle.com>

---

Changes v3->v4:
- Rename KASAN_VMALLOC_NOEXEC to KASAN_VMALLOC_PROT_NORMAL.
- Compare with PAGE_KERNEL instead of using pgprot_nx().
- Update patch description.

Changes v2->v3:
- Add this patch.
