ARCv2: PAE40: set MSB even if !CONFIG_ARC_HAS_PAE40 but PAE exists in SoC
commit b5ddb6d5 upstream. PAE40 confiuration in hardware extends some of the address registers for TLB/cache ops to 2 words. So far kernel was NOT setting the higher word if feature was not enabled in software which is wrong. Those need to be set to 0 in such case. Normally this would be done in the cache flush / tlb ops, however since these registers only exist conditionally, this would have to be conditional to a flag being set on boot which is expensive/ugly - specially for the more common case of PAE exists but not in use. Optimize that by zero'ing them once at boot - nobody will write to them afterwards Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
