Subject: [PATCH] arm64: fix documentation on kernel pages mappings to HYP VA
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 21:08:30 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170913180830.8608-1-ynorov@caviumnetworks.com> (raw)

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.
