For KASAN shadow mappings, switch from physmem_alloc_or_die() to physmem_alloc() and return INVALID_PHYS_ADDR on allocation failure. This allows gracefully falling back from large pages to smaller pages (1MB or 4KB) if the allocation of 2GB size/aligned pages cannot be fulfilled.

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 reStructuredText 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.
