This commit adds tag-based KASAN specific hooks implementation and adjusts common generic and tag-based KASAN ones. 1. When a new slab cache is created, tag-based KASAN rounds up the size of the objects in this cache to KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE (== 16). 2. On each kmalloc tag-based KASAN generates a random tag, sets the shadow memory, that corresponds to this object to this tag, and embeds this tag value into the top byte of the returned pointer. 3. On each kfree tag-based KASAN poisons the shadow memory with a random tag to allow detection of use-after-free bugs. The rest of the logic of the hook implementation is very much similar to the one provided by generic KASAN. Tag-based KASAN saves allocation and free stack metadata to the slab object the same way generic KASAN does.

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.
