Andrey Ryabinin f5a40711fa x86/mm: Set MODULES_END to 0xffffffffff000000
Since f06bdd4001 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size")
kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) could be not aligned to a page boundary.

So passing page unaligned address to kasan_populate_zero_shadow() have two
possible effects:

1) It may leave one page hole in supposed to be populated area. After commit
  21506525fb ("x86/kasan/64: Teach KASAN about the cpu_entry_area") that
  hole happens to be in the shadow covering fixmap area and leads to crash:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffbffffe8ee04
 RIP: 0010:check_memory_region+0x5c/0x190

 Call Trace:
  <NMI>
  memcpy+0x1f/0x50
  ghes_copy_tofrom_phys+0xab/0x180

Note, the crash likely disappeared after commit 92a0f81d89, which
changed kasan_populate_zero_shadow() call the way it was before
commit 21506525fb.

2) Attempt to load module near MODULES_END will fail, because
   __vmalloc_node_range() called from kasan_module_alloc() will hit the
   WARN_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in the vmap_pte_range() and bail out with error.

To fix this we need to make kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) page aligned
which means that MODULES_END should be 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned.

The whole point of commit f06bdd4001 was to move MODULES_END down if
NR_CPUS is big, so the cpu_entry_area takes a lot of space.
But since 92a0f81d89 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap")
the cpu_entry_area is no longer in fixmap, so we could just set
MODULES_END to a fixed 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
