On arm64 VTTBR_EL2:BADDR holds the base address for the stage2 translation table. The Arm ARM mandates that the bits BADDR[x-1:0] should be 0, where 'x' is defined for a given IPA Size and the number of levels for a translation granule size. It is defined using some magical constants. This patch is a reverse engineered implementation to calculate the 'x' at runtime for a given ipa and number of page table levels. See patch for more details.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
