This fails to compile with 64K pages
kernel/fork.c: In function ‘free_thread_stack’:
kernel/fork.c:267:41: error: ‘THREAD_SIZE_ORDER’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘THREAD_SIZE’?
__free_pages(virt_to_page(tsk->stack), THREAD_SIZE_ORDER);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THREAD_SIZE
Because THREAD_SIZE_ORDER isn't defined at all for 64K pages
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES
#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 2
#elif defined(CONFIG_ARM64_16K_PAGES)
#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 0
#endif
I think this should just be dead code on arm64 but the asymmetric
#ifdef looks fishy to me.
Thanks,
Laura
