Subject[PATCH] x86: avoid VLA in pgd_alloc()
Date
Turning on -Wvla found a new VLA usage:

In file included from include/linux/kernel.h:15,
from include/asm-generic/bug.h:18,
from arch/x86/include/asm/bug.h:83,
from include/linux/bug.h:5,
from include/linux/mmdebug.h:5,
from include/linux/mm.h:9,
from arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c:2:
arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c: In function 'pgd_alloc':
include/linux/build_bug.h:29:45: error: ISO C90 forbids variable length array 'u_pmds' [-Werror=vla]
arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c:190:34: note: in expansion of macro 'static_cpu_has'
#define PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PTI) ? \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c:431:16: note: in expansion of macro 'PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS'
pmd_t *u_pmds[PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS];
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the actual size of the array that is used for X86_FEATURE_PTI
instead of the variable size.

Fixes: f59dbe9ca670 ("x86/pgtable/pae: Use separate kernel PMDs for user page-table")
Fixes: 68664695ae57 ("Makefile: Globally enable VLA warning")
