Currently, various virtual memory areas of Linux RISC-V are organized in increasing order of their virtual addresses is as follows: 1. User space area (This is lowest area and starts at 0x0) 2. FIXMAP area 3. VMALLOC area 4. Kernel area (This is highest area and starts at PAGE_OFFSET) The maximum size of user space aread is represented by TASK_SIZE. On RV32 systems, TASK_SIZE is defined as VMALLOC_START which causes the user space area to overlap the FIXMAP area. This allows user space apps to potentially corrupt the FIXMAP area and kernel OF APIs will crash whenever they access corrupted FDT in the FIXMAP area. On RV64 systems, TASK_SIZE is set to fixed 256GB and no other areas happen to overlap so we don't see any FIXMAP area corruptions. This patch fixes FIXMAP area corruption on RV32 systems by setting TASK_SIZE to FIXADDR_START. We also move FIXADDR_TOP, FIXADDR_SIZE, and FIXADDR_START defines to asm/pgtable.h so that we can avoid cyclic header includes.

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.
