When KASLR and KASAN are both enabled, we keep the modules where they are, and randomize the placement of the kernel so it is within 2 GB of the module region. The reason for this is that putting modules in the vmalloc region (like we normally do when KASLR is enabled) is not possible in this case, given that the entire vmalloc region is already backed by KASAN zero shadow pages, and so allocating dedicated KASAN shadow space as required by loaded modules is not possible. The default module allocation window is set to [_etext - 128MB, _etext] in kaslr.c, which is appropriate for KASLR kernels booted without a seed or with 'nokaslr' on the command line. However, as it turns out, it is not quite correct for the KASAN case, since it still intersects the vmalloc region at the top, where attempts to allocate shadow pages will collide with the KASAN zero shadow pages, causing a WARN() and all kinds of other trouble. So cap the top end to MODULES_END explicitly when running with KASAN.

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.
