Instead of making init a two pass sequence, to satisfy the Intel's TLB Application note (developer.intel.com/design/processor/applnots/317080.pdf Section 6 page 26), we preserve the original page permissions when fragmenting the large mappings and don't touch the existing memory mapping (which satisfies Xen's requirements). Only open issue is: on a native linux kernel, we will go back to mapping the first 0-1GB kernel identity mapping as executable (because of the static mapping setup in head_64.S). We can fix this in a different patch if needed. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> |
