The Documentation/arm64/memory.txt says:
When using KVM, the hypervisor maps kernel pages in EL2, at a fixed
offset from the kernel VA (top 24bits of the kernel VA set to zero):
In fact, kernel addresses are transleted to HYP with kern_hyp_va macro,
which has more options, and none of them assumes clearing of top 24bits
of the kernel VA.

There is no swapper_pgd_dir, it meant swapper_pg_dir.

This patch allows support for 3 levels of page tables with 64KB page
configuration allowing 48-bit VA space. The pgd is no longer a full
PAGE_SIZE (PTRS_PER_PGD is 64) and (swapper|idmap)_pg_dir are not fully
populated (pgd_alloc falls back to kzalloc).

Rather than guessing what the maximum vmmemap space should be, this
patch allows the calculation based on the VA_BITS and sizeof(struct
page). The vmalloc space extends to the beginning of the vmemmap space.
Since the virtual kernel memory layout now depends on the build
configuration, this patch removes the detailed description in
Documentation/arm64/memory.txt in favour of information printed during
kernel booting.

This patch adds memory layout and translation lookup information
about 48-bit address space with 4K pages. The description is based
on 4 levels of translation tables.

Add support for early IO or memory mappings which are needed before the
normal ioremap() is usable. This also adds fixmap support for permanent
fixed mappings such as that used by the earlyprintk device register
region.

The patch moves the PCI I/O space (currently at 64K) before the
earlyprintk mapping and extends it to 16MB.

This patch expands the VA_BITS to 42 when the 64K page configuration is
enabled allowing 2TB kernel linear mapping. Linux still uses 2 levels of
page tables in this configuration with pgd now being a full page.

HYP mode has access to some of the kernel pages. Document the

This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel
command line. The format is:
earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>]
where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is
the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used.
The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel
boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A
special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from
the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the
kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is
pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot.
Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface
is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.

Fixes a term in Documentation/arm64/memory.txt
The modification is based on Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>'s
suggestion:
"memory" in "ffffffc000000000 ffffffffffffffff 256GB memory"
should be treated as "kernel logical memory map".

The virtual memory layout is described in
Documentation/arm64/memory.txt. This patch adds the MMU definitions for
the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is
2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration.
PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no
run-time code patching at this stage).
On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are
512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping.
Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration
and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space
beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an
additional level of translation tables.
The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and
allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.
