Now that we have pud/pmd mask interfaces, which handle pfn & flags
mask properly for the large PAT bit.

Fix pud/pmd pfn & flags interfaces by replacing PTE_PFN_MASK and
PTE_FLAGS_MASK with the pud/pmd mask interfaces.

Looks like this commit is causing this splat for 32-bit kernels. I am
attaching my config file, just in case.
Thanks for the report!  I'd like to reproduce the issue since I am not sure how
this change caused it...

I tried to build a kernel with the attached config file, and got the following
error.  Not sure what I am missing.

----
$ make -j24 ARCH=i386
    :
   LD      drivers/built-in.o
   LINK    vmlinux
./.config: line 44: $'\r': command not found
I wonder whether my email client added ^Ms to the file that I send. It
shouldn't have.

Makefile:929: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 127
----

Do you have steps to reproduce the issue?  Or do you see it during boot-time?
This always happens just after system has booted, it may still be going over
init scripts. I am booting with ramdisk, don't know whether it has anything
to do with this problem.

FWIW, it looks like pmd_pfn_mask() inline is causing this. Reverting it
alone makes this crash go away.
Could you check the patch below?


I does fix the problem on baremetal, thanks. My 32-bit Xen guests still fail which I thought was the same issue but now that I looked at it more carefully it has different signature.
