xen: increase __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT_XEN to 52
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. Signed-off-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz>
