vm_map_base, empty_zero_page and invalid_pmd_table could be accessed widely by some out-of-tree non-GPL but important file systems or drivers (e.g. OpenZFS). Let's use EXPORT_SYMBOL() instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to export them, so as to avoid build errors. 1, Details about vm_map_base: This is a LoongArch-specific symbol and may be referenced through macros PCI_IOBASE, VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END. 2, Details about empty_zero_page: As it stands today, only 3 architectures export empty_zero_page as a GPL symbol: IA64, LoongArch and MIPS. LoongArch gets the GPL export by inheriting from MIPS, and the MIPS export was first introduced in commit |

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.
