From 7c4f10b9003dc8423df07574ba197bbbe3bc382b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rune Torgersen Date: Sat, 24 May 2008 01:59:15 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Check that TASK_SIZE does not overlap KERNEL_START Make sure CONFIG_TASK_SIZE does not overlap CONFIG_KERNEL_START This could happen when overriding settings to get 1GB lowmem, and would lead to userland mysteriousely hanging. This setting is only used by PPC32.
