Subject: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc/book3s64/hash: Disable 16M linear mapping size if not aligned
With STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on in a relocatable kernel under the hash MMU, if
the position the kernel is loaded at is not 16M aligned, the kernel
miscalculates its ALIGN*()s and things go horribly wrong.
We can easily avoid this when selecting the linear mapping size, so do
so and print a warning. I tested this for various alignments and as
long as the position is 64K aligned it's fine (the base requirement for
powerpc).
