[v2,1/3] x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on Fixmap section size

Commit Message

Thomas Garnier Jan. 26, 2017, 4:59 p.m. UTC

This patch aligns MODULES_END to the beginning of the Fixmap section.
It optimizes the space available for both sections. The address is
pre-computed based on the number of pages required by the Fixmap
section.

It will allow GDT remapping in the Fixmap section. The current
MODULES_END static address does not provide enough space for the kernel
to support a large number of processors.
