The MIN_RMA size checks in fadump_setup_param_area() use
(MIN_RMA * 1024 * 1024), which is evaluated in int and can
overflow when MIN_RMA is 2048 or larger. This triggers compiler
warnings such as:

warning: integer overflow in expression of type 'int'
results in '0' [-Woverflow]

Promote MIN_RMA to u64 before the multiplication so the expression
is evaluated in 64-bit and matches the surrounding physical address
and memory size calculations.

This fixes both the comparison against ppc64_rma_size and the
assignment to range_start.

How do you create that problem ? MIN_RMA has a fixed value of 768 which 
is defined in asm/prom.h

As you are modifying that line, please use SZ_1M instead of keeping 
opencoded 1024 * 1024.

Same.

Maybe the best would be to define MIN_RMA as a bytes value in asm/prom.h 
and to divide the value by SZ_1M in kernel/prom_init.c when initialising 
ibm_architecture_vec_template.

That way you could just define it as SZ_2G instead of the problematic 
2048 you mention.

Agreed, MIN_RMA is currently fixed at 768MB.
While going through the code, I thought this could become a
problem if MIN_RMA is increased beyond values such as SZ_2G.

Thanks for the review Christophe!
I will incorporate all the suggested improvements in v2.
