Re: [PATCH v3] powerpc: fix compile error on 64K pages on 40x, 44x

From: Christophe LEROY <hidden>

Le 01/10/2017 à 16:33, Christian Lamparter a écrit :
The mmu context on the 40x, 44x does not define pte_frag
entry. This causes gcc abort the compilation due to:

setup-common.c: In function ‘setup_arch’:
setup-common.c:908: error: ‘mm_context_t’ has no ‘pte_frag’

This patch fixes the issue by removing the pte_frag
initialization in setup-common.c.

This is possible, because the compiler will do the
initialization, since the mm_context is a sub struct of
init_mm. init_mm is declared in mm_types.h as external linkage.
according to C99 6.2.4.3:
"An object whose identifier is declared with external linkage
[...] has static storage duration."

C99 defines in 6.7.8.10 that: "
If an object that has static storage duration is not
initialized explicitly, then:
- if it has pointer type, it is initialized to a null pointer
[...]
"
