Currently most platforms define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as 0UL duplicating the
same code all over. Instead define a new option ARCH_HAS_FIRST_USER_ADDRESS
for those platforms which would override generic default FIRST_USER_ADDRESS
value 0UL. This makes it much cleaner with reduced code.

I guess you didn't test it ..... :)

In fact I did :) Though just booted it on arm64 and cross compiled on
multiple others platforms.


should be #ifndef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_FIRST_USER_ADDRESS

Right, meant that instead.


+#define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS    0UL
+#endif

But why do we need a config option at all for that ?

Why not just:

#ifndef FIRST_USER_ADDRESS
#define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS    0UL
#endif

This sounds simpler. But just wondering, would not there be any possibility
of build problems due to compilation sequence between arch and generic code ?


For sure it has to be addresses carefully, but there are already a lot of stuff like that around pgtables.h

For instance, pte_offset_kernel() has a generic definition in linux/pgtables.h based on whether it is already defined or not.

Taking into account that FIRST_USER_ADDRESS is today in the architectures's asm/pgtables.h, I think putting the fallback definition in linux/pgtable.h would do the trick.
