Issue: when SLUB debug is on, hwtag kasan_unpoison() would overwrite the redzone of object with unaligned size. An additional memzero_explicit() path is added to replacing init by hwtag instruction for those unaligned size at SLUB debug mode. The penalty is acceptable since they are only enabled in debug mode, not production builds. A block of comment is added for explanation.

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.
