    x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size · f06bdd40
    Thomas Garnier authored
    
    
    This patch aligns MODULES_END to the beginning of the fixmap section.
    It optimizes the space available for both sections. The address is
    pre-computed based on the number of pages required by the fixmap
    section.
    
    It will allow GDT remapping in the fixmap section. The current
    MODULES_END static address does not provide enough space for the kernel
    to support a large number of processors.
