[PATCH V2] mips: kernel: fix detect_memory_region() function

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The detect_memory_region() has been broken on 6.6 kernel[1]. This
patch fixes it by:
1. Do not use memcmp() on unallocated memory, as the new introduced
   fortify dynamic object size check[2] will return unexpected result.
2. Use a fixed pattern instead of a random function pointer as the
   magic value.
3. Flip magic value and double check it.
4. Enable this feature only for 32-bit CPUs. Currently, only ath79 and
   ralink CPUs are using it. And 64-bit CPU doesn't have the KSEG1ADDR
   definition.
