Ard Biesheuvel 3ebd4bd2eb arm64: mm: use a 48-bit ID map when possible on 52-bit VA builds
[ Upstream commit 7ba8f2b2d6 ]

52-bit VA kernels can run on hardware that is only 48-bit capable, but
configure the ID map as 52-bit by default. This was not a problem until
recently, because the special T0SZ value for a 52-bit VA space was never
programmed into the TCR register anwyay, and because a 52-bit ID map
happens to use the same number of translation levels as a 48-bit one.

This behavior was changed by commit 1401bef703 ("arm64: mm: Always update
TCR_EL1 from __cpu_set_tcr_t0sz()"), which causes the unsupported T0SZ
value for a 52-bit VA to be programmed into TCR_EL1. While some hardware
simply ignores this, Mark reports that Amberwing systems choke on this,
resulting in a broken boot. But even before that commit, the unsupported
idmap_t0sz value was exposed to KVM and used to program TCR_EL2 incorrectly
as well.

Given that we already have to deal with address spaces being either 48-bit
or 52-bit in size, the cleanest approach seems to be to simply default to
a 48-bit VA ID map, and only switch to a 52-bit one if the placement of the
kernel in DRAM requires it. This is guaranteed not to happen unless the
system is actually 52-bit VA capable.

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.
