Subject: [GIT PULL] EFI urgent fix
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2015 10:47:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1446634037-10251-1-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
Folks, the LKP robot reported an issue with Paolo's recent bug fix
that syncs the identity mapping in 'initial_page_table'. Turns out
that KERNEL_PGD_PTRS is not the correct constant to use when copying
to the lower region because that's every PGD from PAGE_OFFSET to the
end of the addressable memory.
Crucially, KERNEL_PGD_PTRS > KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY and so the patch ends
up trashing some of the kernel mappings in 'initial_page'table,
leading to boot crashes on 32-bit SMP when bringing APs online.
The following changes since commit 9ee870feaa9e0c6abef95a3b1fc518d88adfa2d3:
Merge branch 'x86/cpufeature' into x86/urgent, to pick up pending Intel MID change (2015-11-03 12:00:40 +0100)

x86/setup: Fix recent boot crash on 32-bit SMP machines (2015-11-04 09:26:24 +0000)
----------------------------------------------------------------
* Avoid trashing the kernel mappings in 'initial_page_table' when
copying the identity mapping from 'swapper_pg_dir'. This bug was
introduced by a bug fix in v4.3 which erroneously copies too many
entries from 'swapper_pg_dir'.
