The non-MMU m68k pagetable ZERO_PAGE() macro is being set to the somewhat non-sensical value of "virt_to_page(0)". The zeroth page is not in any way guaranteed to be a page full of "0". So the result is that ZERO_PAGE() will almost certainly contain random values. We already allocate a real "empty_zero_page" in the mm setup code shared between MMU m68k and non-MMU m68k. It is just not hooked up to the ZERO_PAGE() macro for the non-MMU m68k case. Fix ZERO_PAGE() to use the allocated "empty_zero_page" pointer. I am not aware of any specific issues caused by the old code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
