From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kasan: mark kasan_arg_stacktrace as __initdata As kasan_arg_stacktrace is only used in __init functions, mark it as __initdata instead of __ro_after_init to allow it be freed after boot. The other enums for KASAN args are used in kasan_init_hw_tags_cpu(), which is not marked as __init as a CPU can be hot-plugged after boot. Clarify this in a comment.
