[REGRESSION] boot regression in next-20170428

[Niklas Cassel]

Hello


Since next-20170428
the ARTPEC-6 SoC (MACH_ARTPEC6) does no longer boot.

It works fine with next-20170427.


I've bisected it to the following commit:

6d684e54690caef45cf14051ddeb7c71beeb681b is the first bad commit

    rhashtable: Cap total number of entries to 2^31
    
    When max_size is not set or if it set to a sufficiently large
    value, the nelems counter can overflow.  This would cause havoc
    with the automatic shrinking as it would then attempt to fit a
    huge number of entries into a tiny hash table.
    
    This patch fixes this by adding max_elems to struct rhashtable
    to cap the number of elements.  This is set to 2^31 as nelems is
    not a precise count.  This is sufficiently smaller than UINT_MAX
    that it should be safe.
    
    When max_size is set max_elems will be lowered to at most twice
    max_size as is the status quo.

Enabling earlyprintk does not give any more info,
it simply hangs after:

JUMP dest=0x2000000 dtb=0x2900000 machine=0x1399 initrd=0x02a00000/0x0021b193 cmdline="earlyprintk debug initcall_debug=1"
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
