| |
2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Glauber Costa <glommer@redhat.com>
(cherry picked from commit a20316d2aa41a8f4fd171648bad8f044f6060826)
The use of __pa() to calculate the address of a C-visible symbol is wrong, and can lead to unpredictable results. See arch/x86/include/asm/page.h for details.
It should be replaced with __pa_symbol(), that does the correct math here, by taking relocations into account. This ensures the correct wallclock data structure physical address is passed to the hypervisor.
