Michael Ellerman 03dfee6d5f powerpc/mm: Fix swapper_pg_dir size on 64-bit hash w/64K pages 
Recently in commit f6eedbba7a ("powerpc/mm/hash: Increase VA range to 128TB"),
we increased H_PGD_INDEX_SIZE to 15 when we're building with 64K pages. This
makes it larger than RADIX_PGD_INDEX_SIZE (13), which means the logic to
calculate MAX_PGD_INDEX_SIZE in book3s/64/pgtable.h is wrong.

The end result is that the PGD (Page Global Directory, ie top level page table)
of the kernel (aka. swapper_pg_dir), is too small.

This generally doesn't lead to a crash, as we don't use the full range in normal
operation. However if we try to dump the kernel pagetables we can trigger a
crash because we walk off the end of the pgd into other memory and eventually
try to dereference something bogus:

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_pagetables
  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xe8fece0000000000
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000072314

      pc: c000000000072314: ptdump_show+0x164/0x430
      lr: c000000000072550: ptdump_show+0x3a0/0x430

  vfs_read+0xbc/0x1b0
  SyS_read+0x6c/0x110
  system_call+0x38/0xfc

The root cause is that MAX_PGD_INDEX_SIZE isn't actually computed to be
the max of H_PGD_INDEX_SIZE or RADIX_PGD_INDEX_SIZE. To fix that move
the calculation into asm-offsets.c where we can do it easily using
max().

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
