commit 6c5bf79b69f911560fbf82214c0971af6e58e682 upstream. Systems using kpti enter and exit the kernel through a trampoline mapping that is always mapped, even when the kernel is not. tramp_valias is a macro to find the address of a symbol in the trampoline mapping. Adding extra sets of vectors will expand the size of the entry.tramp.text section to beyond 4K. tramp_valias will be unable to generate addresses for symbols beyond 4K as it uses the 12 bit immediate of the add instruction. As there are now two registers available when tramp_alias is called, use the extra register to avoid the 4K limit of the 12 bit immediate.

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.
