    ARM: 9063/1: mm: reduce maximum number of CPUs if DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL is enabled · d624833f
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    The debugging code for kmap_local() doubles the number of per-CPU fixmap
    slots allocated for kmap_local(), in order to use half of them as guard
    regions. This causes the fixmap region to grow downwards beyond the start
    of its reserved window if the supported number of CPUs is large, and collide
    with the newly added virtual DT mapping right below it, which is obviously
    not good.
    
    One manifestation of this is EFI boot on a kernel built with NR_CPUS=32
    and CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL=y, which may pass the FDT in highmem, resulting
    in block entries below the fixmap region that the fixmap code misidentifies
    as fixmap table entries, and subsequently tries to dereference using a
    phys-to-virt translation that is only valid for lowmem. This results in a
    cryptic splat such as the one below.

    So let's limit CONFIG_NR_CPUS to 16 when CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL=y. Also,
    fix the BUILD_BUG_ON() check that was supposed to catch this, by checking
    whether the region grows below the start address rather than above the end
    address.
