Parallel loading of modules may lead to bad setup of shadow page table
entries.
First, lets align modules so that two modules never share the same
shadow page.
Second, ensure that two modules cannot allocate two page tables for
the same PMD entry at the same time. This is done by using
init_mm.page_table_lock in the same way as __pte_alloc_kernel()

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.
