Commit c65e774fb3f6 ("x86/mm: Make PGDIR_SHIFT and PTRS_PER_P4D variable")
made PTRS_PER_P4D variable on x86 and introduced MAX_PTRS_PER_P4D as a
constant for cases which need a compile-time constant (e.g. fixed-size
arrays).
powerpc likewise has boot-time selectable MMU features which can cause
other mm "constants" to vary. For KASAN, we have some static
PTE/PMD/PUD/P4D arrays so we need compile-time maximums for all these
constants. Extend the MAX_PTRS_PER_ idiom, and place default definitions
in include/pgtable.h. These define MAX_PTRS_PER_x to be PTRS_PER_x unless
an architecture has defined MAX_PTRS_PER_x in its arch headers.
Clean up pgtable-nop4d.h and s390's MAX_PTRS_PER_P4D definitions while
we're at it: both can just pick up the default now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
