With 16K pages and 48-bit VAs, the PGD level of table has two entries,
and so the fixmap shares a PGD with the kernel image. Since commit:
f9040773b7 ("arm64: move kernel image to base of vmalloc area")
... we copy the existing fixmap to the new fine-grained page tables at
the PUD level in this case. When walking to the new PUD, we forgot to
offset the PGD entry and always used the PGD entry at index 0, but this
worked as the kernel image and fixmap were in the low half of the TTBR1
address space.
As of commit:
14c127c957 ("arm64: mm: Flip kernel VA space")
... the kernel image and fixmap are in the high half of the TTBR1
address space, and hence use the PGD at index 1, but we didn't update
the fixmap copying code to account for this.
Thus, we'll erroneously try to copy the fixmap slots into a PUD under
the PGD entry at index 0. At the point we do so this PGD entry has not
been initialised, and thus we'll try to write a value to a small offset
from physical address 0, causing a number of potential problems.
Fix this be correctly offsetting the PGD. This is split over a few steps
for legibility.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
