Subject: [PATCH] arm64/mm: Describe 52 bits PA folding into TTBRx_EL1
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 10:11:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226101135.1915529-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)

A 52 bits physical address gets stored in TTBR_BADDR_MASK_52 in a folded
manner. Shifting PA[51:0] right ward by '46' bits, aligns PA[51:48] into
TTBRx_EL1[5:2] which gets ORed for the final TTBRx_EL1 encoding.

Define TTBR_BADDR_HIGH_52_PA_PIVOT which describes this inflection point,
where this right shift is done thus bringing some clarity to this 52 bits
PA address folding process in TTBRx_EL1.
