Subject: mm: page-flags-layout.h: change the KASAN_TAG_WIDTH for HW_TAGS
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2025 17:14:09 -0300
KASAN_TAG_WIDTH is 8 bits for both (HW_TAGS and SW_TAGS), but for HW_TAGS
the KASAN_TAG_WIDTH can be 4 bits bits because due to the design of the
MTE the memory words for storing metadata only need 4 bits. Change the
preprocessor define KASAN_TAG_WIDTH for check if SW_TAGS is define, so
KASAN_TAG_WIDTH should be 8 bits, but if HW_TAGS is define, so
KASAN_TAG_WIDTH should be 4 bits to save a few flags bits.
