Hello Pavel,

Memory hotplug may fail on systems with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE because the
linear map range is not checked correctly.

The start physical address that linear map covers can be actually at the
end of the range because of randmomization. Check that and if so reduce it
to 0.
Looking at the code, this seems possible if memstart_addr which is a signed
value becomes large (after falling below 0) during arm64_memblock_init().
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
This can be verified on QEMU with setting kaslr-seed to ~0ul:

memstart_offset_seed = 0xffff
START: __pa(_PAGE_OFFSET(vabits_actual)) = ffff9000c0000000
END:   __pa(PAGE_END - 1) =  1000bfffffff

If this is possible only with randomized linear mapping, could you please
add IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOMIZED_BASE) during the switch over. Wondering
if WARN_ON(start_linear_pa > end_linear_pa) should be added otherwise i.e
when linear mapping randomization is not enabled.

This looks okay but will double check and give it some more testing.
