Instead of changing cache->align to be aligned to KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE
in kasan_cache_create() we can reuse the ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN macro.

This looks unreliable.  include/linux/slab.h has

/*
 * Setting ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN in arch headers allows a different alignment.
 * Intended for arches that get misalignment faults even for 64 bit integer
 * aligned buffers.
 */
#ifndef ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN
#define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN __alignof__(unsigned long long)
#endif

so if a .c file includes arch/arm64/include/asm/kasan.h after
include/linux/slab.h, it can get a macro-redefined warning.  If the .c
file includes those headers in the other order, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN will
get a different value compared to other .c files.

Or something like that.

Different architectures define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN in different place:

./arch/microblaze/include/asm/page.h:#define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN L1_CACHE_BYTES
./arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h:#define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN 8
./arch/sh/include/asm/page.h:#define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN 8
./arch/c6x/include/asm/cache.h:#define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN       L1_CACHE_BYTES
./arch/sparc/include/asm/cache.h:#define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN     __alignof__(unsigned long long)
./arch/xtensa/include/asm/processor.h:#define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN STACK_ALIGN

which is rather bad of us.

But still.  I think your definition should occur in an arch header file
which is reliably included from slab.h.  And kasan code should get its
definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN by including slab.h.

KASAN code doesn't use this macro directly, so I don't think it needs
to get it's definition.

What do you think about adding #include <linux/kasan.h> into
linux/slab.h? Perhaps with a comment that this is needed to get
definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN?
