Besides asking vmalloc memory to be executable via the prot argument of __vmalloc_node_range() (see the previous patch), the kernel can skip that bit and instead mark memory as executable via set_memory_x(). Once tag-based KASAN modes start tagging vmalloc allocations, executing code from such allocations will lead to the PC register getting a tag, which is not tolerated by the kernel. Generic kernel code typically allocates memory via module_alloc() if it intends to mark memory as executable. (On arm64 module_alloc() uses __vmalloc_node_range() without setting the executable bit). Thus, reset pointer tags of pointers returned from module_alloc(). However, on arm64 there's an exception: the eBPF subsystem. Instead of using module_alloc(), it uses vmalloc() (via bpf_jit_alloc_exec()) to allocate its JIT region. Thus, reset pointer tags of pointers returned from bpf_jit_alloc_exec(). Resetting tags for these pointers results in untagged pointers being passed to set_memory_x(). This causes conflicts in arithmetic checks in change_memory_common(), as vm_struct->addr pointer returned by find_vm_area() is tagged. Reset pointer tag of find_vm_area(addr)->addr in change_memory_common().

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.
