From 56c46bba9bbfe229b4472a5be313c44c5b714a39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell Currey Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2019 14:35:54 +1100 Subject: powerpc/64: Fix booting large kernels with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX With STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled anything marked __init is placed at a 16M boundary. This is necessary so that it can be repurposed later with different permissions. However, in kernels with text larger than 16M, this pushes early_setup past 32M, incapable of being reached by the branch instruction. Fix this by setting the CTR and branching there instead.
