mm: fix build on 32-bit targets without MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS
The merge resolution to deal with the conflict between commits
ea72ce5da228 ("x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end of the physical memory
address space") and 99185c10d5d9 ("resource, kunit: add test case for
region_intersects()") ended up being broken in configurations didn't
define a MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS and that had a 32-bit 'phys_addr_t'.
The fallback to using all bits set (ie "(-1ULL)") ended up causing a
build error:
kernel/resource.c: In function ‘gfr_start’:
include/linux/minmax.h:93:30: error: conversion from ‘long long unsigned int’ to ‘resource_size_t’ {aka ‘unsigned int’} changes value from ‘18446744073709551615’ to ‘4294967295’ [-Werror=overflow]
this was reported by Geert for m68k, but he points out that it happens
on other 32-bit architectures too, eg mips, xtensa, parisc, and powerpc.
Limiting 'PHYSMEM_END' to a 'phys_addr_t' (which is the same as
'resource_size_t') fixes the build, but Geert points out that it will
then cause a silent overflow in mm/sparse.c:
unsigned long max_sparsemem_pfn = (PHYSMEM_END + 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
so we actually do want PHYSMEM_END to be defined a 64-bit type - just
not all ones, and not larger than 'phys_addr_t'.
The proper fix is probably to not have some kind of default fallback at
all, but just make sure every architecture has a valid MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
But in the meantime, this just applies the rule that PHYSMEM_END is the
largest value that fits in a 'phys_addr_t', but does not have the high
bit set in 64 bits.
Ugly, ugly.
