On arm64 there is optional support for a 52-bit virtual address space. To exploit this one has to be running with a 64KB page size and be running on hardware that supports this. For an arm64 kernel supporting a 48 bit VA with a 64KB page size, some changes are needed to support a 52-bit userspace: * TCR_EL1.T0SZ needs to be 12 instead of 16, * TASK_SIZE needs to reflect the new size. This patch implements the above when the support for 52-bit VAs is detected at early boot time. On arm64 userspace addresses translation is controlled by TTBR0_EL1. As well as userspace, TTBR0_EL1 controls: * The identity mapping, * EFI runtime code. It is possible to run a kernel with an identity mapping that has a larger VA size than userspace (and for this case __cpu_set_tcr_t0sz() would set TCR_EL1.T0SZ as appropriate). However, when the conditions for 52-bit userspace are met; it is possible to keep TCR_EL1.T0SZ fixed at 12. Thus in this patch, the TCR_EL1.T0SZ size changing logic is disabled.

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.
