[ Upstream commit 65f8780e2d ]
The size of vmalloc area depends from various factors
on boot and could be set to:
1. Default size as determined by VMALLOC_DEFAULT_SIZE macro;
2. One half of the virtual address space not occupied by
modules and fixed mappings;
3. The size provided by user with vmalloc= kernel command
line parameter;
In cases [1] and [2] the vmalloc area base address is aligned
on Region3 table type boundary, while in case [3] in might get
aligned on page boundary.
Limit the waste of page tables and always align vmalloc area
size and base address on segment boundary.

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.
