x86/mm: Set MODULES_END to 0xffffffffff000000
Since f06bdd4001c2 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size") kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) could be not aligned to a page boundary. So passing page unaligned address to kasan_populate_zero_shadow() have two possible effects: 1) It may leave one page hole in supposed to be populated area. After commit 21506525fb8d ("x86/kasan/64: Teach KASAN about the cpu_entry_area") that hole happens to be in the shadow covering fixmap area and leads to crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffbffffe8ee04 RIP: 0010:check_memory_region+0x5c/0x190 Call Trace: <NMI> memcpy+0x1f/0x50 ghes_copy_tofrom_phys+0xab/0x180 ghes_read_estatus+0xfb/0x280 ghes_notify_nmi+0x2b2/0x410 nmi_handle+0x115/0x2c0 default_do_nmi+0x57/0x110 do_nmi+0xf8/0x150 end_repeat_nmi+0x1a/0x1e Note, the crash likely disappeared after commit 92a0f81d8957, which changed kasan_populate_zero_shadow() call the way it was before commit 21506525fb8d. 2) Attempt to load module near MODULES_END will fail, because __vmalloc_node_range() called from kasan_module_alloc() will hit the WARN_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in the vmap_pte_range() and bail out with error. To fix this we need to make kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) page aligned which means that MODULES_END should be 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned. The whole point of commit f06bdd4001c2 was to move MODULES_END down if NR_CPUS is big, so the cpu_entry_area takes a lot of space. But since 92a0f81d8957 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap") the cpu_entry_area is no longer in fixmap, so we could just set MODULES_END to a fixed 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address.
