Subject: xen: increase __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT_XEN to 52
Git-commit: fdb41f0b6fa42a692e5fa39da3801f6ca18e8a6b
References: bsc#1177050
Acked-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz>
The current value of __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT_XEN in crash (40) is
smaller than the kernel (52) since kernel commit 6f0e8bf167 (xen:
support 52 bit physical addresses in pv guests).
This can cause x86_64_pud_offset() to lose the most significant
bits of pgd_pte, leading to a failed xen_m2p() translation,
resulting in crash failing with an error message like this:
crash: read error: physical address: ffffffffffffffff type: "pud page"
Both Intel and AMD documentation mandate that unused physical
address bits must be 0, so there is no need to explicitly mask them
out with a mask narrower than the architecture limit of 52. This
is also confirmed by this kernel commit: b83ce5ee91.
Increase the value of __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT_XEN to 52.
