This is v4 post. The v3 post can be found here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190216140008.28671-1-bhe@xxxxxxxxxx

The v2 post was here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/9/56

This patchset includes the original three code bug fix patches in v2,
and two new patches to improve code comments about kaslr_memory_region
and open code unnecessary function get_padding(), meanwhile carry the
known SGI UV bug fix.

This patchset sits on top of another patchset earlier posted:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190308025616.21440-1-bhe@xxxxxxxxxx
[PATCH v3 0/2] x86/mm/KASLR: Change the granularity of randomization to PUD size in 5-level
[PATCH v3 2/2] x86/mm/KASLR: Change the granularity of randomization to PUD size in 5-level
[PATCH v3 1/2] x86/mm/KASLR: Only build one PUD entry of area for real mode trampoline

Note:
SGI UV bug fix is not tested yet, the idea was approved by SGI UV expert
Mike Travis, and the old post as below was tested and has been merged
into our RHEL distros. This new change doesn't change the way to
calculate the size of the direct mapping section, but only wrap the
calculation code into a new function calc_direct_mapping_size()
according to Ingo's suggestion.
