mm: fix NR_SECTION_ROOTS == 0 when using using sparsemem extreme.
Got this while compiling for ARM/SA1100:
mm/sparse.c: In function '__section_nr':
mm/sparse.c:135: warning: 'root' is used uninitialized in this function
This patch follows Russell King's suggestion for a new calculation for
NR_SECTION_ROOTS. Thanks also to Sergei Shtylyov for pointing out the
existence of the macro DIV_ROUND_UP.
Atsushi Nemoto observed:
: This fix doesn't just silence the warning - it fixes a real problem.
:
: Without this fix, mem_section[] might have 0 size so mem_section[0]
: will share other variable area. For example, I got:
:
: c030c700 b __warned.16478
: c030c700 B mem_section
: c030c701 b __warned.16483
:
: This might cause very strange behavior. Your patch actually fixes it.
