[PATCH RESEND v8 01/16] arm64: module: remove unneeded call to kasan_alloc_module_shadow()

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org>
Date: 2024-05-05 16:07:00
Also in: bpf, linux-arch, linux-arm-kernel, linux-mips, linux-mm, linux-modules, linux-riscv, linux-s390, linux-trace-kernel, lkml, loongarch, netdev, sparclinux
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt@kernel.org>

Since commit f6f37d9320a1 ("arm64: select KASAN_VMALLOC for SW/HW_TAGS
modes") KASAN_VMALLOC is always enabled when KASAN is on. This means
that allocations in module_alloc() will be tracked by KASAN protection
for vmalloc() and that kasan_alloc_module_shadow() will be always an
empty inline and there is no point in calling it.

Drop meaningless call to kasan_alloc_module_shadow() from
module_alloc().
