Peter Chubb 6cf07a8cc8 [IA64] Fix nasty VMLPT problem... ... I've solved the problem I was having with the simulator and not booting Debian. The problem is that the number of bits for the virtual linear array short-format VHPT (Virtually mapped linear page table, VMLPT for short) is being tested incorrectly. There are two problems: 1. The PAL call that should tell the kernel the size of the virtual address space isn't implemented for the simulator, so the kernel uses the default 50. This is addressed separately in dc90e95f31 2. In arch/ia64/mm/init.c there's code to calcualte the size of the VMLPT based on the number of implemented virtual address bits and the page size. It checks to see if the VMLPT base address overlaps the top of the mapped region, but this check doesn't allow for the address space hole, and in fact will never trigger. Here's an alternative test and panic, that I think is more accurate. Signed-off-by: Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>		2005-08-31 08:35:22 -07:00
