[PATCH v4 1/3] arm64: Improve kernel address detection of __is_lm_address()

From: Vincenzo Frascino
Date: Fri Jan 22 2021 - 12:31:44 EST


Currently, the __is_lm_address() check just masks out the top 12 bits
of the address, but if they are 0, it still yields a true result.
This has as a side effect that virt_addr_valid() returns true even for
invalid virtual addresses (e.g. 0x0).

Improve the detection checking that it's actually a kernel address
starting at PAGE_OFFSET.
