[RFC] arm64/mm: Fix idmap on [16K|36VA|48PA]
From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Fri Jul 23 2021 - 01:57:50 EST
When creating the idmap, the kernel may add one extra level to idmap memory
outside the VA range. But for [16K|36VA|48PA], we need two levels to reach
48 bits. If the bootloader places the kernel in memory above (1 << 46), the
kernel will fail to enable the MMU. Although we are not aware of a platform
where this happens, it is worth to accommodate such scenarios and prevent a
possible kernel crash.
Lets fix the problem on the above configuration by creating two additional
idmap page table levels when 'idmap_text_end' is outside the VA range. This
reduces 'idmap_t0sz' to cover the entire PA range which would prevent table
misconfiguration (fault) when a given 'idmap_t0sz' value requires a single
additional page table level where as two have been built.
