This patch ports the feature Kernel Address SANitizer (KASAN). Note: The start address of shadow memory is at the beginning of kernel space, which is 2^64 - (2^39 / 2) in SV39. The size of the kernel space is 2^38 bytes so the size of shadow memory should be 2^38 / 8. Thus, the shadow memory would not overlap with the fixmap area. There are currently two limitations in this port, 1. RV64 only: KASAN need large address space for extra shadow memory region. 2. KASAN can't debug the modules since the modules are allocated in VMALLOC area. We mapped the shadow memory, which corresponding to VMALLOC area, to the kasan_early_shadow_page because we don't have enough physical space for all the shadow memory corresponding to VMALLOC area.

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.
