Subject[PATCH v2] arch/ia64: Restore arch-specific pgd_offset_k implementation
Date
IA-64 is special and treats pgd_offset_k differently from pgd_offset by
not including the region number, and init_mm's PGD is such that it only
points to the kernel's region's PGD. This was broken in 974b9b2c68 which
unified the two and therefore included the region number, causing it to
go way out of bounds of the kernel's PGD, which made the kernel hang
during early boot. Thus, permit pgd_offset_k to be overridden like the
other macros and override it on IA-64 with the old implementation. Also
update the comment to clarify that this is not just an optimisation but
a required implementation detail.

Fixes: 974b9b2c68 ("mm: consolidate pte_index() and pte_offset_*() definitions")
