Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] x86/kexec: Revert 5level dynamic switching
Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2024 19:56:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240301185618.19663-1-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>
Hi,
I think this is silly - both 1st and second, the-kexec'ed kernel would
either have CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL enabled or not - why would this be
different.
And this'll become even more the case in the future.
So remove this silly stuff.
Unless there's a valid use case, which I'm willing to hear. Those commit
messages don't say anything about it.
Thx.
