[PATCH] powerpc/8xx: CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC requires ITLBmiss for kernel addresses

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-03 23:02:00
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is activated, the initial TLB mapping gets
flushed to track accesses to wrong areas. Therefore, kernel addresses
will also generate ITLB misses.
