/*
* Define KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET,KASAN_SHADOW_START and KASAN_SHADOW_END for
* the Arm kernel address sanitizer. We are "stealing" lowmem (the 4GB
* addressable by a 32bit architecture) out of the virtual address
* space to use as shadow memory for KASan as follows:
*
* +----+ 0xffffffff
* | | \
* | | |-> Static kernel image (vmlinux) BSS and page table
* | |/
* +----+ PAGE_OFFSET
* | | \
* | | |-> Loadable kernel modules virtual address space area
* | |/
* +----+ MODULES_VADDR = KASAN_SHADOW_END
* | | \
* | | |-> The shadow area of kernel virtual address.
* | |/
* +----+-> TASK_SIZE (start of kernel space) = KASAN_SHADOW_START the
* | |\ shadow address of MODULES_VADDR
* | | |
* | | |
* | | |-> The user space area in lowmem. The kernel address
* | | | sanitizer do not use this space, nor does it map it.
* | | |
* | | |
* | | |
* | | |
* | |/
* ------ 0
*
* 1) KASAN_SHADOW_START
* This value begins with the MODULE_VADDR's shadow address. It is the
* start of kernel virtual space. Since we have modules to load, we need
* to cover also that area with shadow memory so we can find memory
* bugs in modules.
*
* 2) KASAN_SHADOW_END
* This value is the 0x100000000's shadow address: the mapping that would
* be after the end of the kernel memory at 0xffffffff. It is the end of
* kernel address sanitizer shadow area. It is also the start of the
* module area.
*
* 3) KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET:
* This value is used to map an address to the corresponding shadow
* address by the following formula:
*
* shadow_addr = (address >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
*
* As you would expect, >> 3 is equal to dividing by 8, meaning each
* byte in the shadow memory covers 8 bytes of kernel memory, so one
* bit shadow memory per byte of kernel memory is used.
*
* The KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is provided in a Kconfig option depending
* on the VMSPLIT layout of the system: the kernel and userspace can
* split up lowmem in different ways according to needs, so we calculate
* the shadow offset depending on this.

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
