[PATCHv4 05/10] arm64: Use __pa_symbol for kernel symbols

Hi,

As a heads-up, it looks like this got mangled somewhere. In the hunk at
arch/arm64/mm/kasan_init.c:68, 'do' in the context became 'edo'.
Deleting the 'e' makes it apply.

I think this is almost there; other than James's hibernate bug I only
see one real issue, and everything else is a minor nit.

I think the addition of the lm_alias() macro under include/mm should be
a separate preparatory patch. That way it's separate from the
arm64-specific parts, and more obvious to !arm64 people reviewing the
other parts.

It looks like we need to make sure these (directly) include <linux/mm.h>
for __pa_symbol() and lm_alias(), or there's some fragility, e.g.

As Catalin mentioned, we should be able to drop this copy of lm_alias(),
given we have the same in the core headers.

I see you added sym_to_pfn(), which we can use here to keep this short
and legible. It might also be worth using a temporary pfn_t, e.g.

	pfn = sym_to_pfn(&vdso_start);

	for (i = 0; i < vdso_pages; i++)
		vdso_pagelist[i + 1] = pfn_to_page(pfn + i);

This should probably be its own patch since it's not under arch/arm64/.

I'm happy for this to go via the arm64 tree with the rest regardless
(assuming Lorenzo has no objections).

Thanks,
Mark.
