Percpu embedded first chunk allocator is the firstly option, but it could fail on ARM64, eg, percpu: max_distance=0x5fcfdc640000 too large for vmalloc space 0x781fefff0000 percpu: max_distance=0x600000540000 too large for vmalloc space 0x7dffb7ff0000 percpu: max_distance=0x5fff9adb0000 too large for vmalloc space 0x5dffb7ff0000 then we could get to WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 461 at vmalloc.c:3087 pcpu_get_vm_areas+0x488/0x838 and the system cannot boot successfully. Let's implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback to the embedding allocator to increase the robustness of the system. Also fix a crash when both NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK and KASAN_VMALLOC enabled. Tested on ARM64 qemu with cmdline "percpu_alloc=page". This patch (of 3): There are some fixed locations in the vmalloc area be reserved in ARM(see iotable_init()) and ARM64(see map_kernel()), but for pcpu_page_first_chunk(), it calls vm_area_register_early() and choose VMALLOC_START as the start address of vmap area which could be conflicted with above address, then could trigger a BUG_ON in vm_area_add_early(). Let's choose a suit start address by traversing the vmlist.

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.
