Subject: [PATCH] Xen i386 xen-head.S fix sections mixup
Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2007 23:04:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070820030420.GA11070@Krystal> (raw)
Xen i386 xen-head.S fix sections mixup
xen-head.S does not come back to the data section, leaving the text section
as current section. It causes problems with a slightly enhanced DEBUG_RODATA
that supports CONFIG_HOTPLUG and bringing a CPU up after the text has been
marked read-only: reference to early_gdt_descr causes a page fault.
It applies on 2.6.22-rc2-mm2.
