Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] x86/realmode: Add comment for Global bit usage in trampline_pgd
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2021 16:54:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210929145501.4612-2-joro@8bytes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210929145501.4612-1-joro@8bytes.org>

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

Document the fact that using the trampoline_pgd will result in the
creation of global TLB entries in the user range of the address
space.
