This patch prepares Software Tag-Based KASAN for stack tagging support. With stack tagging enabled, KASAN tags stack variable in each function in its prologue. In start_kernel() stack variables get tagged before KASAN is enabled via setup_arch()->kasan_init(). As the result the tags for start_kernel()'s stack variables end up in the temporary shadow memory. Later when KASAN gets enabled, switched to normal shadow, and starts checking tags, this leads to false-positive reports, as proper tags are missing in normal shadow. Disable KASAN instrumentation for start_kernel(). Also disable it for arm64's setup_arch() as a precaution (it doesn't have any stack variables right now).

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.
