[PATCH v4 4/5] arm64: kaslr: support randomized module area with KASAN_VMALLOC

From: Lecopzer Chen
Date: Wed Mar 24 2021 - 00:06:30 EST


After KASAN_VMALLOC works in arm64, we can randomize module region
into vmalloc area now.

Test:
VMALLOC area ffffffc010000000 fffffffdf0000000

before the patch:
module_alloc_base/end ffffffc008b80000 ffffffc010000000
after the patch:
module_alloc_base/end ffffffdcf4bed000 ffffffc010000000

And the function that insmod some modules is fine.
