Allow architectures to define a kasan_arch_is_ready() hook that bails
out of any function that's about to touch the shadow unless the arch
says that it is ready for the memory to be accessed. This is fairly
uninvasive and should have a negligible performance penalty.

This will only work in outline mode, so an arch must specify
ARCH_DISABLE_KASAN_INLINE if it requires this.

Both previous RFCs for ppc64 - by 2 different people - have
needed this trick! See:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/592820/ # ppc64 hash series
 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/795211/      # ppc radix series

Build tested on arm64 with SW_TAGS and x86 with INLINE: the error fires
if I add a kasan_arch_is_ready define.

This comment brings no value. The fact that we bail is clear from the
following line. The comment should explain why we bail.

Have you considered including these checks into the high-level
wrappers in include/linux/kasan.h? Would that work?

Fair enough, I've just dropped the comments as I don't think there's
really a lot of scope for the generic/core comment to explain why a
particular architecture might not be ready.

I don't think those wrappers will catch the outline check functions
like __asan_load*, which also need guarding.

Kind regards,
Daniel
