The kernel can use to allocate executable memory. The only supported way to do that is via __vmalloc_node_range() with the executable bit set in the prot argument. (vmap() resets the bit via pgprot_nx()). 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. Only tag the allocations for normal kernel pages.

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.
