kasan: add memory corruption identification for software tag-based mode Add memory corruption identification at bug report for software tag-based mode. The report shows whether it is "use-after-free" or "out-of-bound" error instead of "invalid-access" error. This will make it easier for programmers to see the memory corruption problem. We extend the slab to store five old free pointer tag and free backtrace, we can check if the tagged address is in the slab record and make a good guess if the object is more like "use-after-free" or "out-of-bound". therefore every slab memory corruption can be identified whether it's "use-after-free" or "out-of-bound".
