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.

We are going to support boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging. For KASAN it means we cannot have different KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for different paging modes: the constant is passed to gcc to generate code and cannot be changed at runtime. This patch changes KASAN code to use 0xdffffc0000000000 as shadow offset for both 4- and 5-level paging. For 5-level paging it means that shadow memory region is not aligned to PGD boundary anymore and we have to handle unaligned parts of the region properly. In addition, we have to exclude paravirt code from KASAN instrumentation as we now use set_pgd() before KASAN is fully ready.
