arch: pgtable: define MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS where needed
Stefan Agner reported a bug when using zsram on 32-bit Arm machines
with RAM above the 4GB address boundary:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

As it turns out, zsram needs to know the maximum memory size, which
is defined in MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is set, or in
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS on the x86 architecture.
The same problem will be hit on all 32-bit architectures that have a
physical address space larger than 4GB and happen to not enable sparsemem
and include asm/sparsemem.h from asm/pgtable.h.
After the initial discussion, I suggested just always defining
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS whenever CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is
set, or provoking a build error otherwise. This addresses all
configurations that can currently have this runtime bug, but
leaves all other configurations unchanged.
I looked up the possible number of bits in source code and
datasheets, here is what I found:
- on ARC, CONFIG_ARC_HAS_PAE40 controls whether 32 or 40 bits are used
- on ARM, CONFIG_LPAE enables 40 bit addressing, without it we never
support more than 32 bits, even though supersections in theory allow
up to 40 bits as well.
- on MIPS, some MIPS32r1 or later chips support 36 bits, and MIPS32r5
XPA supports up to 60 bits in theory, but 40 bits are more than
anyone will ever ship
- On PowerPC, there are three different implementations of 36 bit
addressing, but 32-bit is used without CONFIG_PTE_64BIT
- On RISC-V, the normal page table format can support 34 bit
addressing. There is no highmem support on RISC-V, so anything
above 2GB is unused, but it might be useful to eventually support
CONFIG_ZRAM for high pages.
