Subject: Re: [PATCH mm-unstable] arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page

> of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

> Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
> core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
> colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

> ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
> inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

> For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:
>
> * alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
> parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
> and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
> * arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
> ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
> * m68k/parisc/sparc64/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
> although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
> will work fine.
> * sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
> Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
> empty_zero_page.
> * hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page
>
> /* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */
