Subject: [PATCH v5 3/7] x86/mm: Define PTRS_PER_P4D in terms of pgdir_shift()
Date: Tue, 20 May 2025 12:41:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250520104138.2734372-12-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250520104138.2734372-9-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Define the value of PTRS_PER_P4D in terms of pgdir_shift(), which can be
accessed cheaply, removing the need for a global variable that needs to
be kept in sync manually.
