[PATCH 4.9 002/104] arm64: Initialise high_memory global variable earlier

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 22 2017 - 05:28:14 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steve Capper <steve.capper@xxxxxxx>

commit f24e5834a2c3f6c5f814a417f858226f0a010ade upstream.

The high_memory global variable is used by
cma_declare_contiguous(.) before it is defined.

We don't notice this as we compute __pa(high_memory - 1), and it looks
like we're processing a VA from the direct linear map.

This problem becomes apparent when we flip the kernel virtual address
space and the linear map is moved to the bottom of the kernel VA space.

This patch moves the initialisation of high_memory before it used.
