Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 4/6] x86/boot: Set 5-level paging CPU cap before entering C code
Date: Tue, 13 May 2025 13:12:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250513111157.717727-12-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250513111157.717727-8-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
In order for pgtable_l5_enabled() to be reliable wherever it is used and
however early, set the associated CPU capability from asm code before
entering the startup C code.
Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
