powerpc/mm/radix: Fix off-by-one in split mapping logic
When we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, we try to split the kernel linear (1:1) mapping so that the kernel text is in a separate page to kernel data, so we can mark the former read-only. We could achieve that just by always using 64K pages for the linear mapping, but we try to be smarter. Instead we use huge pages when possible, and only switch to smaller pages when necessary. However we have an off-by-one bug in that logic, which causes us to calculate the wrong boundary between text and data. For example with the end of the kernel text at 16M we see: radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000001200000 with 64.0 KiB pages radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000001200000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000100000000 with 1.00 GiB pages ie. we mapped from 0 to 18M with 64K pages, even though the boundary between text and data is at 16M. With the fix we see we're correctly hitting the 16M boundary: radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000001000000 with 64.0 KiB pages radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000001000000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000100000000 with 1.00 GiB pages Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
