Currently, whether the alloc/free stack traces collection is enabled by default for hardware tag-based KASAN depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. The intention for this dependency was to only enable collection on slow debug kernels due to a significant perf and memory impact. As it turns out, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL is not considered a debug option and is enabled on many productions kernels including Android and Ubuntu. As the result, this dependency is pointless and only complicates the code and documentation. Having stack traces collection disabled by default would make the hardware mode work differently to to the software ones, which is confusing. This change removes the dependency and enables stack traces collection by default. Looking into the future, this default might makes sense for production kernels, assuming we implement a fast stack trace collection approach.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
