Commitc98d2ecae0("s390/mm: Uncouple physical vs virtual address spaces") introduced a large_allowed() helper that restricts which mapping modes can use large pages. This change unintentionally prevented KASAN shadow mappings from using large pages, despite there being no reason to avoid them. In fact, large pages are preferred for performance. Since commitd8073dc6bc("s390/mm: Allow large pages only for aligned physical addresses"), both can_large_pud() and can_large_pmd() call _pa() to check if large page physical addresses are aligned. However, _pa() has a side effect: it allocates memory in POPULATE_KASAN_MAP_SHADOW mode. Rename large_allowed() to large_page_mapping_allowed() and add POPULATE_KASAN_MAP_SHADOW to the allowed list to restore large page mappings for KASAN shadows. While large_page_mapping_allowed() isn't strictly necessary with current mapping modes since disallowed modes either don't map anything or fail alignment and size checks, keep it for clarity. Rename _pa() to resolve_pa_may_alloc() for clarity and to emphasize existing side effect. Rework can_large_pud()/can_large_pmd() to take the side effect into consideration and actually return physical address instead of just checking conditions.

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 reStructuredText 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.
