linux: riscv: set max_pfn to the PFN of the last page

[Colin Ian King]

== SRU Justification Focal/Groovy ==

The current max_pfn equals to zero. In this case, I found it caused users
cannot get some page information through /proc such as kpagecount in v5.6
kernel because of new sanity checks. The following message is displayed by
stress-ng test suite with the command "stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t
1" on HiFive unleashed board.

 # stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1

    riscv: set max_pfn to the PFN of the last page

== Test Case ==

Without the patch, running stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t
1 on HiFive unleashed board will trip the bug. With the patch, the test passes as follows:

 # stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1
 stress-ng: debug: [104] 4 processors online, 4 processors configured stress-ng: info: [104] dispatching hogs: 1 physpage
 stress-ng: info: [104] cache allocate: using defaults, can't determine cache details from sysfs
 stress-ng: debug: [104] cache allocate: default cache size: 2048K
 stress-ng: debug: [104] starting stressors
 stress-ng: debug: [104] 1 stressor spawned
 stress-ng: debug: [105] stress-ng-physpage: started [105] (instance 0) stress-ng: debug: [105] stress-ng-physpage: exited [105] (instance 0) stress-ng: debug: [104] process [105] terminated
 stress-ng: info: [104] successful run completed in 1.01s

== Regression Potential ==

Small, this correctly fixes the max_pfn and max_low_pfn to the correct end of DRAM location. The fix now can be shown to set these appropriately because stress-ng no longer triggers this corner case.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
