Hi Cristophe,

Would it possible to unify kasan_arch_is_ready with the already
existing kasan_enabled check?

Both functions seem to be serving a similar purpose: for example this
patch adds kasan_arch_is_ready into __kasan_poison_vmalloc, which is
called by kasan_poison_vmalloc when kasan_enabled returns true.

The kasan_enabled is only implemented for HW_TAGS right now, but it
should be easy enough to make it work other cases by
kasan_flag_enabled into common.c and adding __wrappers for
shadow-related functions into include/linux/kasan.h. This way
architectures won't need to define their own static key and duplicate
the functionality.

I don't mind having this patch applied as is, considering that it's a
fix. However, if the unification that I mentioned is possible, that
would be a nice improvement.

Thanks!
