From: Kristina Martsenko kristina.martsenko@arm.com
commit 26aa7b3b1c0fb3f1a6176a0c1847204ef4355693 upstream.
VTTBR_BADDR_MASK is used to sanity check the size and alignment of the VTTBR address. It seems to currently be off by one, thereby only allowing up to 47-bit addresses (instead of 48-bit) and also insufficiently checking the alignment. This patch fixes it.
As an example, with 4k pages, before this patch we have:
PHYS_MASK_SHIFT = 48 VTTBR_X = 37 - 24 = 13 VTTBR_BADDR_SHIFT = 13 - 1 = 12 VTTBR_BADDR_MASK = ((1 << 35) - 1) << 12 = 0x00007ffffffff000
Which is wrong, because the mask doesn't allow bit 47 of the VTTBR address to be set, and only requires the address to be 12-bit (4k) aligned, while it actually needs to be 13-bit (8k) aligned because we concatenate two 4k tables.
With this patch, the mask becomes 0x0000ffffffffe000, which is what we want.
