TCR_EL1.TxSZ, which controls the VA space size, is configured by a single kernel image to support either 48-bit or 52-bit VA space. If the ARMv8.2-LVA optional feature is present and we are running with a 64KB page size, then it is possible to use 52-bits of address space for both userspace and kernel addresses. However, any kernel binary that supports 52-bit must also be able to fall back to 48-bit at early boot time if the hardware feature is not present. Since TCR_EL1.T1SZ indicates the size of the memory region addressed by TTBR1_EL1, export the same in vmcoreinfo. User-space utilities like makedumpfile and crash-utility need to read this value from vmcoreinfo for determining if a virtual address lies in the linear map range. While at it also add documentation for TCR_EL1.T1SZ variable being added to vmcoreinfo. It indicates the size offset of the memory region addressed by TTBR1_EL1.

README
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.
