Subject: [PATCH 4/6] arm64: use hw_pte_t for fixmap HW PTEs
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 14:51:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914-pte0_arm-v1-4-bb53b663e396@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914-pte0_arm-v1-0-bb53b663e396@arm.com>

fixmap_pte() returns a pointer into bm_pte, and early_fixmap_init_pte()
installs those arrays as page tables. Their elements are therefore
HW PTEs.

Change the element type of bm_pte to hw_pte_t so it matches the HW PTE
pointers returned and passed to the accessors. This is needed before
ARCH_HAS_HW_PTE_T makes HW PTEs and SW PTE values distinct types; the
array dimensions and placement are unchanged.
