ARM: 8590/1: sanity_check_meminfo(): avoid overflow on vmalloc_limit
To limit the amount of mapped low memory, we determine a physical address boundary based on the start of the vmalloc area using __pa(). Strictly speaking, the vmalloc area location is arbitrary and does not necessarily corresponds to a valid physical address. For example, if PAGE_OFFSET = 0x80000000 PHYS_OFFSET = 0x90000000 vmalloc_min = 0xf0000000 then __pa(vmalloc_min) overflows and returns a wrapped 0 when phys_addr_t is a 32-bit type. Then the code that follows determines that the entire physical memory is above that boundary and no low memory gets mapped at all: |[...] |Machine model: Freescale i.MX51 NA04 Board |Ignoring RAM at 0x90000000-0xb0000000 (!CONFIG_HIGHMEM) |Consider using a HIGHMEM enabled kernel. To avoid this problem let's make vmalloc_limit a 64-bit value all the time and determine that boundary explicitly without using __pa().
