- * The vmalloc() routines leaves a hole of 4kB between each vmalloced

- * vmalloc area starts at 4GB to prevent syscall table entry exchanging

- * We need some free virtual space to be able to do vmalloc.
- * VMALLOC_MIN_SIZE defines the minimum size of the vmalloc
- * area. On a machine with 2GB memory we make sure that we
- * have at least 128MB free space for vmalloc. On a machine
- * with 4TB we make sure we have at least 128GB.
+ * The vmalloc area will always be on the topmost area of the kernel
+ * mapping. We reserve 96MB (31bit) / 1GB (64bit) for vmalloc,
+ * which should be enough for any sane case.
+ * By putting vmalloc at the top, we maximise the gap between physical
+ * memory and vmalloc to catch misplaced memory accesses. As a side
+ * effect, this also makes sure that 64 bit module code cannot be used
+ * as system call address.
