Subject: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc/book3s64/hash: Disable 16M linear mapping size if not aligned
Date: Tue, 24 Dec 2019 17:41:25 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191224064126.183670-1-ruscur@russell.cc> (raw)

With STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on in a relocatable kernel under the hash MMU, if
the position the kernel is loaded at is not 16M aligned, the kernel
miscalculates its ALIGN*()s and things go horribly wrong.

We can easily avoid this when selecting the linear mapping size, so do
so and print a warning.  I tested this for various alignments and as
long as the position is 64K aligned it's fine (the base requirement for
powerpc).
