Enabling 52-bit VAs on arm64 requires that the PGD table expands from 64 entries (for the 48-bit case) to 1024 entries. This quantity, PTRS_PER_PGD is used as follows to compute which PGD entry corresponds to a given virtual address, addr: pgd_index(addr) -> (addr >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PGD - 1) Userspace addresses are prefixed by 0's, so for a 48-bit userspace address, uva, the following is true: (uva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (1024 - 1) == (uva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (64 - 1) In other words, a 48-bit userspace address will have the same pgd_index when using PTRS_PER_PGD = 64 and 1024. Kernel addresses are prefixed by 1's so, given a 48-bit kernel address, kva, we have the following inequality: (kva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (1024 - 1) != (kva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (64 - 1) In other words a 48-bit kernel virtual address will have a different pgd_index when using PTRS_PER_PGD = 64 and 1024. If, however, we note that: kva = 0xFFFF << 48 + lower (where lower[63:48] == 0b) and, PGDIR_SHIFT = 42 (as we are dealing with 64KB PAGE_SIZE) We can consider: (kva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (1024 - 1) - (kva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (64 - 1) = (0xFFFF << 6) & 0x3FF - (0xFFFF << 6) & 0x3F // "lower" cancels out = 0x3C0 In other words, one can switch PTRS_PER_PGD to the 52-bit value globally provided that they increment ttbr1_el1 by 0x3C0 * 8 = 0x1E00 bytes when running with 48-bit kernel VAs (TCR_EL1.T1SZ = 16). For kernel configuration where 52-bit userspace VAs are possible, this patch offsets ttbr1_el1 and sets PTRS_PER_PGD corresponding to the 52-bit value.

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.
