When 52-bit virtual addressing is enabled for userspace (CONFIG_ARM64_USER_VA_BITS_52=y), the kernel continues to utilise 48-bit virtual addressing in TTBR1. Consequently, PTRS_PER_PGD reflects the larger page table size for userspace and the pgd pointer for kernel page tables is offset before being written to TTBR1. This means that we can't use PTRS_PER_PGD to iterate over kernel page tables unless we apply the same offset, which is fiddly to get right and leads to some non-idiomatic walking code. Instead, just follow the usual pattern when walking page tables by using a while loop driven by pXd_offset() and pXd_addr_end().

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.
