Since commitd52888aa27("x86/mm: Move LDT remap out of KASLR region on 5-level paging") kernel doesn't boot with KASAN on 5-level paging machines. The bug is actually in early_p4d_offset() and introduced by commit12a8cc7fcf("x86/kasan: Use the same shadow offset for 4- and 5-level paging") early_p4d_offset() tries to convert pgd_val(*pgd) value to a physical address. This doesn't make sense because pgd_val() already contains the physical address. It did work prior to commitd52888aa27because the result of "__pa_nodebug(pgd_val(*pgd)) & PTE_PFN_MASK" was the same as "pgd_val(*pgd) & PTE_PFN_MASK". __pa_nodebug() just set some high bits which were masked out by applying PTE_PFN_MASK. After the change of the PAGE_OFFSET offset in commitd52888aa27__pa_nodebug(pgd_val(*pgd)) started to return a value with more high bits set and PTE_PFN_MASK wasn't enough to mask out all of them. So it returns a wrong not even canonical address and crashes on the attempt to dereference it. Switch back to pgd_val() & PTE_PFN_MASK to cure the issue.

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.
