+ - Negative addresses such as "-23 TB" are absolute addresses in bytes, counted down
+   from the top of the 64-bit address space. It's easier to understand the layout
+   when seen both in absolute addresses and in distance-from-top notation.
+
+   For example 0xffffe90000000000 == -23 TB, it's 23 TB lower than the top of the
+   64-bit address space (ffffffffffffffff).
+
+   Note that as we get closer to the top of the address space, the notation changes
+   from TB to GB and then MB/KB.
+
+ - "16M TB" might look weird at first sight, but it's an easier to visualize size
+   notation than "16 EB", which few will recognize at first sight as 16 exabytes.
+   It also shows it nicely how incredibly large 64-bit address space is.

+Architecture defines a 64-bit virtual address. Implementations can support
+less. Currently supported are 48- and 57-bit virtual addresses. Bits 63
+through to the most-significant implemented bit are sign extended.
+This causes hole between user space and kernel addresses if you interpret them
+as unsigned.
+
+The direct mapping covers all memory in the system up to the highest
+memory address (this means in some cases it can also include PCI memory
+holes).
+
+vmalloc space is lazily synchronized into the different PML4/PML5 pages of
+the processes using the page fault handler, with init_top_pgt as
+reference.
+
+We map EFI runtime services in the 'efi_pgd' PGD in a 64Gb large virtual
+memory window (this size is arbitrary, it can be raised later if needed).
+The mappings are not part of any other kernel PGD and are only available
+during EFI runtime calls.
+
+Note that if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY is enabled, the direct mapping of all
+physical memory, vmalloc/ioremap space and virtual memory map are randomized.
+Their order is preserved but their base will be offset early at boot time.
+
+Be very careful vs. KASLR when changing anything here. The KASLR address
+range must not overlap with anything except the KASAN shadow area, which is
+correct as KASAN disables KASLR.
+
+For both 4- and 5-level layouts, the STACKLEAK_POISON value in the last 2MB

-Complete virtual memory map with 5-level page tables

-Notes:
-
- - With 56-bit addresses, user-space memory gets expanded by a factor of 512x,
-   from 0.125 PB to 64 PB. All kernel mappings shift down to the -64 PT starting
-   offset and many of the regions expand to support the much larger physical
-   memory supported.

-Architecture defines a 64-bit virtual address. Implementations can support
-less. Currently supported are 48- and 57-bit virtual addresses. Bits 63
-through to the most-significant implemented bit are sign extended.
-This causes hole between user space and kernel addresses if you interpret them
-as unsigned.
-
-The direct mapping covers all memory in the system up to the highest
-memory address (this means in some cases it can also include PCI memory
-holes).
-
-vmalloc space is lazily synchronized into the different PML4/PML5 pages of
-the processes using the page fault handler, with init_top_pgt as
-reference.
-
-We map EFI runtime services in the 'efi_pgd' PGD in a 64Gb large virtual
-memory window (this size is arbitrary, it can be raised later if needed).
-The mappings are not part of any other kernel PGD and are only available
-during EFI runtime calls.
-
-Note that if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY is enabled, the direct mapping of all
-physical memory, vmalloc/ioremap space and virtual memory map are randomized.
-Their order is preserved but their base will be offset early at boot time.
-
-Be very careful vs. KASLR when changing anything here. The KASLR address
-range must not overlap with anything except the KASAN shadow area, which is
-correct as KASAN disables KASLR.
-
-For both 4- and 5-level layouts, the STACKLEAK_POISON value in the last 2MB
-hole: ffffffffffff4111
