Linux kernel source tree
32f5b6995f
Currently arm64's FIXADDR_{START,SIZE} definitions only cover the
runtime fixmap slots (and not the boot-time fixmap slots), but the code
for creating the fixmap assumes that these definitions cover the entire
fixmap range. This means that the ptdump boundaries are reported in a
misleading way, missing the VA region of the runtime slots. In theory
this could also cause the fixmap creation to go wrong if the boot-time
fixmap slots end up spilling into a separate PMD entry, though luckily
this is not currently the case in any configuration.
While it seems like we could extend FIXADDR_{START,SIZE} to cover the
entire fixmap area, core code relies upon these *only* covering the
runtime slots. For example, fix_to_virt() and virt_to_fix() try to
reject manipulation of the boot-time slots based upon
FIXADDR_{START,SIZE}, while __fix_to_virt() and __virt_to_fix() can
handle any fixmap slot.
This patch follows the lead of x86 in commit:

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.
