[PATCH 1/5] ia64: don't alias VMALLOC_END to vmalloc_end

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Sep 23 2009 - 01:07:52 EST


If CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is enabled, ia64 defines macro VMALLOC_END
as unsigned long variable vmalloc_end which is adjusted to prepare
room for vmemmap. This becomes probnlematic if a local variables
vmalloc_end is defined in some function (not very unlikely) and
VMALLOC_END is used in the function - the function thinks its
referencing the global VMALLOC_END value but would be referencing its
own local vmalloc_end variable.

There's no reason VMALLOC_END should be a macro. Just define it as an
unsigned long variable if CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is set to avoid nasty
surprises.
