Red Hat's QE team reported test failure on access_tracking_perf_test:

No vm physical memory at 0xffbffff000
I can easily reproduce it with a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 with 46 bits
PA.
It turns out that the address translation for clearing idle page tracking
returned a wrong result; addr_gva2gpa()'s last step, which is based on
"pte[index[0]].pfn", did the calculation with 40 bits length and the
high 12 bits got truncated. In above case the GPA address to be returned
should be 0x3fffbffff000 for GVA 0xc0000000, but it got truncated into
0xffbffff000 and the subsequent gpa2hva lookup failed.
The width of operations on bit fields greater than 32-bit is
implementation defined, and differs between GCC (which uses the bitfield
precision) and clang (which uses 64-bit arithmetic), so this is a
potential minefield. Remove the bit fields and using manual masking
instead.

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.
