[PATCH v3 06/14] x86: Physical address comparisons in fill_p*d/pte
From: Maciej Wieczor-Retman
Date: Fri Apr 04 2025 - 09:17:56 EST
Calculating page offset returns a pointer without a tag. When comparing
the calculated offset to a tagged page pointer an error is raised
because they are not equal.
Change pointer comparisons to physical address comparisons as to avoid
issues with tagged pointers that pointer arithmetic would create. Open
code pte_offset_kernel(), pmd_offset(), pud_offset() and p4d_offset().
Because one parameter is always zero and the rest of the function
insides are enclosed inside __va(), removing that layer lowers the
complexity of final assembly.

Changelog v2:
- Open code *_offset() to avoid it's internal __va().
