Subject: [PATCH 2/2] parisc: Fix initial kernel mapping sanity check
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 23:36:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303223611.207646-2-deller@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303223611.207646-1-deller@kernel.org>
From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
The check if the initial mapping is sufficient needs to happen much
earlier during bootup. Move this test directly to the start_parisc()
function and use native PDC iodc functions to print the warning, because
panic() and printk() are not functional yet.
This fixes boot when enabling various options of KALLSYSMS.
