Hi Mike!

Since commit fa3354e4ea39 (mm: free_area_init: use maximal zone PFNs rather
than zone sizes), I get the following BUG on Alpha (an AlphaServer ES47 Marvel)
and loading userspace leads to a segfault:

(I didn't notice this for a long time because of other unrelated regressions,
the pandemic, changing jobs, ...)
I suspect there will be more surprises down the road :)

I haven't tried reproducing this on other machines or QEMU, but I'd be glad to
if that helps.
If it's reproducible on QEMU I can debug it locally.

Any ideas?
It seems like memory map is not properly initialized. Can you enable
CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT and add mminit_debug=4 to the command line. The
interesting part of the log would be before "Memory: xK/yK available ..."
line.

Hopefully it'll give some clues.
Sure thing. Please find attached.
