Compiling the kernel with Kasan disables automatic 3-level vs 4-level kernel space paging selection, because the shadow memory offset has to be known at compile time and there is no such offset which would be acceptable for both 3 and 4-level paging. Instead S390_4_LEVEL_PAGING option was introduced which allowed to pick how many paging levels to use under Kasan. With the introduction of protected virtualization, kernel memory layout may be affected due to ultravisor secure storage limit. This adds additional complexity into how memory layout would look like in combination with Kasan predefined shadow memory offsets. To simplify this make Kasan 4-level paging default and remove Kasan 3-level paging support.

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.
