Actually Aneesh fixed that in:
0034d395f89d ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Map all the kernel regions in the same 0xc
range")
The problem we had prior to that was that the linear mapping was at
(0xc << 60), vmalloc was at (0xd << 60), and vmemap was at (0xf << 60).
Meaning our shadow region would need to be more than (3 << 60) in size.
cheers

Did I recollect the reason correctly? I think that's _a_ reason, but for radix mode (which is all I support at the moment), the reason is a bit simpler. We call into generic code like the DT parser and printk when we have translations off. The shadow region lives at c00e which is not part of the linear mapping, so if you try to access the shadow while in real mode you will access unmapped memory and (at least on PowerNV) take a machine check. >> >> Add a Kconfig flag to allow an arch to disable inline.

[PATCH v11 1/6] kasan: allow an architecture to disable inline instrumentation
For annoying architectural reasons, it's very difficult to support inline instrumentation on powerpc64. Add a Kconfig flag to allow an arch to disable inline. (It's a bit annoying to be 'backwards', but I'm not aware of any way to have an arch force a symbol to be 'n', rather than 'y'.) We also disable stack instrumentation in this case as it does things that are functionally equivalent to inline instrumentation, namely adding code that touches the shadow directly without going through a C helper.
