kasan: Disable Software Tag-Based KASAN with GCC
Syzbot reports a KASAN failure early during boot on arm64 when building
with GCC 12.2.0 and using the Software Tag-Based KASAN mode:
| BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in smp_build_mpidr_hash arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c:133 [inline]
| BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in setup_arch+0x984/0xd60 arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c:356
| Write of size 4 at addr 03ff800086867e00 by task swapper/0
| Pointer tag: [03], memory tag: [fe]
Initial triage indicates that the report is a false positive and a
thorough investigation of the crash by Mark Rutland revealed the root
cause to be a bug in GCC:
> When GCC is passed `-fsanitize=hwaddress` or
> `-fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress` it ignores
> `__attribute__((no_sanitize_address))`, and instruments functions
> we require are not instrumented.
>
> [...]
>
> All versions [of GCC] I tried were broken, from 11.3.0 to 14.2.0
> inclusive.
>
> I think we have to disable KASAN_SW_TAGS with GCC until this is
> fixed
Disable Software Tag-Based KASAN when building with GCC by making
CC_HAS_KASAN_SW_TAGS depend on !CC_IS_GCC.
