Hi,

I get the following failure with KASAN + 16K_PAGES + 48BIT_VA, with 4.4-rc1:


arch/arm64/mm/kasan_init.c: In function ‘kasan_early_init’:
include/linux/compiler.h:484:38: error: call to ‘__compiletime_assert_95’ declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: !IS_ALIGNED(KASAN_SHADOW_END, PGDIR_SIZE)

The problem is that the PGDIR_SIZE is (1UL << 47) with 16K+48bit, which makes
the KASAN_SHADOW_END unaligned(which is aligned to (1UL << (48 - 3)) ). Is the
alignment really needed ? Thoughts on how best we could fix this ?

Cheers
Suzuki
