When running with a 52-bit userspace VA and a 48-bit kernel VA we offset ttbr1_el1 to allow the kernel pagetables with a 52-bit PTRS_PER_PGD to be used for both userspace and kernel. Moving on to a 52-bit kernel VA we no longer require this offset to ttbr1_el1 should we be running on a system with HW support for 52-bit VAs. This patch introduces conditional logic to offset_ttbr1 to query SYS_ID_AA64MMFR2_EL1 whenever 52-bit VAs are selected. If there is HW support for 52-bit VAs then the ttbr1 offset is skipped. We choose to read a system register rather than vabits_actual because offset_ttbr1 can be called in places where the kernel data is not actually mapped. Calls to offset_ttbr1 appear to be made from rarely called code paths so this extra logic is not expected to adversely affect performance.

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.
