Subject: [PATCH] arm64/mm: Describe TTBR1_BADDR_4852_OFFSET
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 06:40:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225064028.1525192-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)

TTBR1_BADDR_4852_OFFSET is a constant offset which gets added into kernel
page table physical address for TTBR1_EL1 when kernel is build for 52 bit
VA but found to be running on 48 bit VA capable system. Although there is
no explanation on how the macro is computed.

Describe TTBR1_BADDR_4852_OFFSET computation in detail via deriving from
all required parameters involved thus improving clarity and readability.
