[PATCH v3] arch/ia64: Restore arch-specific pgd_offset_k implementation

[PATCH v3] arch/ia64: Restore arch-specific pgd_offset_k implementation

[Mike Rapoport]

From: Jessica Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com>

IA-64 is special and treats pgd_offset_k() differently from pgd_offset() by
using different formulas to calculate index into kernel and user PGD
tables. The index into user PGDs takes into account the region number
and the index into the kernel (init_mm) PGD always presumes predefined
kernel region number. Commit 974b9b2c68 ("mm: consolidate pte_index()
and pte_offset_*() definitions") made IA-64 to use generic
pgd_offset_k() which wrongly used pgd_index() for user page tables. As
the result, the index into kernel PGD was going out of bounds and the
kernel hang during early boot.

Allow overrides of pgd_offset_k() and use an override on IA-64 with the
old implementation that will correctly index kernel PGD.

Fixes: 974b9b2c68 ("mm: consolidate pte_index() and pte_offset_*() definitions")

Given this commit is being attributed to me please apply these grammatical
fixes (and tweaks) to your wording, as well as a technical correction.

(I have not re-wrapped, for easier diffing, and due to my laziness)

IA-64 is special and treats pgd_offset_k() differently to pgd_offset(),
using different formulae to calculate the indices into the kernel and user PGDs.
The index into the user PGDs takes into account the region number,
but the index into the kernel (init_mm) PGD always assumes a predefined
kernel region number. Commit 974b9b2c68 ("mm: consolidate pte_index()
and pte_offset_*() definitions") made IA-64 use a generic
pgd_offset_k() which incorrectly used pgd_index() for kernel page tables. As
a result, the index into the kernel PGD was going out of bounds and the
kernel hung during early boot.

Allow overrides of pgd_offset_k() and override it on IA-64 with the
old implementation that will correctly index the kernel PGD.
