Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Fix initial page table creation for boot
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 22:24:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304212418.10556-1-deller@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
The KERNEL_INITIAL_ORDER value defines the initial size (usually 32 or
64 MB) of the page table during bootup. Up until now the whole area was
initialized with PTE entries, but there was no check if we filled too
many entries. Change the code to fill up with so many entries that the
"_end" symbol can be reached by the kernel, but not more entries than
actually fit into the initial PTE tables.
