Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86, pti: fix boot warning from Global-bit setting
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 14:13:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180417211304.7B3F1FDB@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180417211302.421F6442@viggo.jf.intel.com>
These are _very_ lightly tested. I'm throwing them out there for
folks are looking for a fix.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
pageattr.c is not friendly when it encounters empty (zero) PTEs. The
kernel linear map is exempt from these checks, but kernel text is not.
This patch adds the code to also exempt kernel text from these checks.
The proximate cause of these warnings was most likely an __init area
that spanned a 2MB page boundary that resulted in a "zero" PMD.

Fixes: 39114b7a7 (x86/pti: Never implicitly clear _PAGE_GLOBAL for kernel image)
