Revision 8bc086899816214fbc6047c9c7e15fcab49552bf authored by Ben Hutchings on 17 March 2019, 01:17:56 UTC, committed by Michael Ellerman on 20 March 2019, 13:16:45 UTC 
powerpc/mm: Only define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS in SPARSEMEM configurations
 
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS only needs to be defined if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is
enabled, and that was the case before commit 4ffe713b7587
("powerpc/mm: Increase the max addressable memory to 2PB").

On 32-bit systems, where CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is not enabled, we now
define it as 46.  That is larger than the real number of physical
address bits, and breaks calculations in zsmalloc:

  mm/zsmalloc.c:130:49: warning: right shift count is negative
    MAX(32, (ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE << PAGE_SHIFT >> OBJ_INDEX_BITS))
                                                   ^~
  ...
  mm/zsmalloc.c:253:21: error: variably modified 'size_class' at file scope
    struct size_class *size_class[ZS_SIZE_CLASSES];
                       ^~~~~~~~~~

README 
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
