[PATCH v10 03/10] powerpc: Always define MODULES_{VADDR,END}

[Christophe Leroy]

Le 30/03/2021 à 06:51, Jordan Niethe a écrit :
> If MODULES_{VADDR,END} are not defined set them to VMALLOC_START and
> VMALLOC_END respectively. This reduces the need for special cases. For
> example, powerpc's module_alloc() was previously predicated on
> MODULES_VADDR being defined but now is unconditionally defined.
> 
> This will be useful reducing conditional code in other places that need
> to allocate from the module region (i.e., kprobes).

This check is important, if we remove it from here it should be done somewhere else, for instance in 
asm/task_size_32.h
