Will Deacon 7aed6a2c51 kasan: Disable Software Tag-Based KASAN with GCC
Syzbot reports a KASAN failure early during boot on arm64 when building
with GCC 12.2.0 and using the Software Tag-Based KASAN mode:

  | BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in smp_build_mpidr_hash arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c:133 [inline]
  | BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in setup_arch+0x984/0xd60 arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c:356
  | Write of size 4 at addr 03ff800086867e00 by task swapper/0
  | Pointer tag: [03], memory tag: [fe]

Initial triage indicates that the report is a false positive and a
thorough investigation of the crash by Mark Rutland revealed the root
cause to be a bug in GCC:

  > When GCC is passed `-fsanitize=hwaddress` or
  > `-fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress` it ignores
  > `__attribute__((no_sanitize_address))`, and instruments functions
  > we require are not instrumented.
  >
  > [...]
  >
  > All versions [of GCC] I tried were broken, from 11.3.0 to 14.2.0
  > inclusive.
  >
  > I think we have to disable KASAN_SW_TAGS with GCC until this is
  > fixed

Disable Software Tag-Based KASAN when building with GCC by making
CC_HAS_KASAN_SW_TAGS depend on !CC_IS_GCC.

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 reStructuredText 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.
