That's for the TTBR1 check, right?

i.e. for the following to work:

	if (addr >= VA_START)

... we need the tag bits to be an extension of bit 55...

... but this ORs in (0xffUL << 56), which is not correct for addresses
which aren't TTBR1 addresses to begin with, where bit 55 is clear, and
throws away useful information.

We could use untagged_addr() here, but that wouldn't be right for
kernels which don't use TBI1, and we'd erroneously report addresses
under the TTBR1 range as being in the TTBR1 range.

I also see that the entry assembly for el{1,0}_{da,ia} clears the tag
for EL0 addresses.

So we could have:

static inline bool is_ttbr0_addr(unsigned long addr)
{
	/* entry assembly clears tags for TTBR0 addrs */
	return addr < TASK_SIZE_64;
}

static inline bool is_ttbr1_addr(unsigned long addr)
{
	/* TTBR1 addresses may have a tag if HWKASAN is in use */
	return arch_kasan_reset_tag(addr) >= VA_START;
}

... and use those in the conditionals, leaving the addr as-is for
reporting purposes.

Thanks,
Mark.
