We export the entire kernel address space (i.e. the whole of the TTBR1
address range) via /proc/kcore. The kc_vaddr_to_offset() and
kc_offset_to_vaddr() macros are intended to convert between a kernel
virtual address and its offset relative to the start of the TTBR1
address space.
Prior to commit:
14c127c957c1c607 ("arm64: mm: Flip kernel VA space")
... the offset was calculated relative to VA_START, which at the time
was the start of the TTBR1 address space. At this time, PAGE_OFFSET
pointed to the high half of the TTBR1 address space where arm64's
linear map lived.
That commit swapped the position of VA_START and PAGE_OFFSET, but
failed to update kc_vaddr_to_offset() or kc_offset_to_vaddr(), so
since then the two macros behave incorrectly.
Note that VA_START was subsequently renamed to PAGE_END in commit:
77ad4ce69321abbe ("arm64: memory: rename VA_START to PAGE_END")
As the generic implementations of the two macros calculate the offset
relative to PAGE_OFFSET (which is now the start of the TTBR1 address
space), we can delete the arm64 implementation and use those.

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.
