 #ifdef CONFIG_KASAN
 
+/*
+ * The following comment was copied from arm64:
+ * KASAN_SHADOW_START: beginning of the kernel virtual addresses.
+ * KASAN_SHADOW_END: KASAN_SHADOW_START + 1/N of kernel virtual addresses,
+ * where N = (1 << KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT).
+ *
+ * KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET:
+ * This value is used to map an address to the corresponding shadow
+ * address by the following formula:
+ *     shadow_addr = (address >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
+ *
+ * (1 << (64 - KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT)) shadow addresses that lie in range
+ * [KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET, KASAN_SHADOW_END) cover all 64-bits of virtual
+ * addresses. So KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET should satisfy the following equation:
+ *      KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = KASAN_SHADOW_END -
+ *                              (1ULL << (64 - KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT))
