    ia64: don't alias VMALLOC_END to vmalloc_end · 126b3fcd
    Tejun Heo 提交于
    If CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is enabled, ia64 defines macro VMALLOC_END
    as unsigned long variable vmalloc_end which is adjusted to prepare
    room for vmemmap.  This becomes probnlematic if a local variables
    vmalloc_end is defined in some function (not very unlikely) and
    VMALLOC_END is used in the function - the function thinks its
    referencing the global VMALLOC_END value but would be referencing its
    own local vmalloc_end variable.
    
    There's no reason VMALLOC_END should be a macro.  Just define it as an
    unsigned long variable if CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is set to avoid nasty
    surprises.
