This harmonizes all virtual addressing modes which can now all map (PGDIR_SIZE * PTRS_PER_PGD) / 4 of physical memory. The RISCV implementation of KASAN requires that the boundary between shallow mappings are aligned on an 8G boundary. In this case we need VMALLOC_START to be 8G aligned. So although we only need to move the start of the linear mapping down by 4GiB to allow 128GiB to be mapped, we actually move it down by 8GiB (creating a 4GiB hole between the linear mapping and KASAN shadow space) to maintain the alignment requirement.

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.
