Hi Ard, Actually, looking more at this, I do not see how with 52VA on a 48VA processor start offset can become negative unless randomization is involved. The start of the linear map will point to the first physical address that is reported by memblock_start_of_DRAM(). However, memstart_addr will be negative. So, I think the current approach using IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) is good. 48VA processor with VA_BITS_48: memstart_addr 40000000 start_linear_pa 40000000 end_linear_pa 80003fffffff 48VA processor with VA_BITS_52: memstart_addr fff1000040000000 <- Negative start_linear_pa 40000000 <- positive, and the first PA address end_linear_pa 80003fffffff Thank you, Pasha
