Andrey Konovalov 551b2bcb7e kasan: add kasan.vmalloc command line flag
Allow disabling vmalloc() tagging for HW_TAGS KASAN via a kasan.vmalloc
command line switch.

This is a fail-safe switch intended for production systems that enable
HW_TAGS KASAN.  In case vmalloc() tagging ends up having an issue not
detected during testing but that manifests in production, kasan.vmalloc
allows to turn vmalloc() tagging off while leaving page_alloc/slab
tagging on.

README

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.
