topa_entry->base needs to store a pfn. It obviously needs to be
large enough to store the largest possible x86 pfn which is
MAXPHYADDR-PAGE_SIZE (52-12). So it is 4 bits too small.
Increase the size of topa_entry->base from 36 bits to 40 bits.
Note, systems where physical addresses can be 256TiB or more are affected.

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 reStructuredText 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.
