When calling this function, all the shadow memory is already populated
with kasan_early_shadow_pte which has PAGE_KERNEL protection.
kasan_populate_early_shadow write-protects the mapping of the range
of addresses passed in argument in zero_pte_populate, which actually
write-protects all the shadow memory mapping since kasan_early_shadow_pte
is used for all the shadow memory at this point. And then when using
memblock API to populate the shadow memory, the first write access to the
kernel stack triggers a trap. This becomes visible with the next commit
that contains a fix for asan-stack.
We already manually populate all the shadow memory in kasan_early_init
and we write-protect kasan_early_shadow_pte at the end of kasan_init
which makes the calls to kasan_populate_early_shadow superfluous so
we can remove them.

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.
