Move from modules area entire shadow memory preallocation to dynamic
allocation per module load.
This behaivior has been introduced for x86 with bebf56a1b: "This patch
also forces module_alloc() to return 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address making
shadow memory handling ( kasan_module_alloc()/kasan_module_free() )
more simple. Such alignment guarantees that each shadow page backing
modules address space correspond to only one module_alloc() allocation"

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
