This patch adds memory corruption identification at bug report for
software tag-based mode, the report show whether it is "use-after-free"
or "out-of-bound" error instead of "invalid-access" error.This will make
it easier for programmers to see the memory corruption problem.
Now we extend the quarantine to support both generic and tag-based kasan.
For tag-based kasan, the quarantine stores only freed object information
to check if an object is freed recently. When tag-based kasan reports an
error, we can check if the tagged addr is in the quarantine and make a
good guess if the object is more like "use-after-free" or "out-of-bound".
Due to tag-based kasan, the tag values are stored in the shadow memory,
all tag comparison failures are memory corruption. Even if those freed
object have been deallocated, we still can get the memory corruption.
So the freed object doesn't need to be kept in quarantine, it can be
immediately released after calling kfree(). We only need the freed object
information in quarantine, the error handler is able to use object
information to know if it has been allocated or deallocated, therefore
every slab memory corruption can be identified whether it's
"use-after-free" or "out-of-bound".
The difference between generic kasan and tag-based kasan quarantine is
slab memory usage. Tag-based kasan only stores freed object information
rather than the object itself. So tag-based kasan quarantine memory usage
is smaller than generic kasan.
====== Benchmarks
The following numbers were collected in QEMU.
Both generic and tag-based KASAN were used in inline instrumentation mode
and no stack checking.
Boot time :
* ~1.5 sec for clean kernel
* ~3 sec for generic KASAN
* ~3.5 sec for tag-based KASAN
* ~3.5 sec for tag-based KASAN + corruption identification
Slab memory usage after boot :
* ~10500 kb for clean kernel
* ~30500 kb for generic KASAN
* ~12300 kb for tag-based KASAN
* ~17100 kb for tag-based KASAN + corruption identification
====== Changes
Change since v1:
- add feature option CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS_IDENTIFY.
- change QUARANTINE_FRACTION to reduce quarantine size.
- change the qlist order in order to find the newest object in quarantine
- reduce the number of calling kmalloc() from 2 to 1 time.
- remove global variable to use argument to pass it.
- correct the amount of qobject cache->size into the byes of qlist_head.
- only use kasan_cache_shrink() to shink memory.
Change since v2:
- remove the shinking memory function kasan_cache_shrink()
- modify the description of the CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS_IDENTIFY
- optimize the quarantine_find_object() and qobject_free()
- fix the duplicating function name 3 times in the header.
- modify the function name set_track() to kasan_set_track()

I originally thought you already agreed the free-list(tag-based
quarantine) after fix those issue. If no allocation there, i think maybe
only move generic quarantine into tag-based kasan, but its memory
consumption is more bigger our patch. what do you think?

If no allocation there, than it must be somewhere else.
We known exactly the amount of memory we need, so it's possible to preallocate it in advance.
