Added identity mapped page table, and keep MMU enabled while kernel is being relocated from sparse pages to the final destination during kexec. More description about the problem I am trying to solve here, can be found here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190709182014.16052-1-pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx/ This patch series works in terms, that I can kexec-reboot both in QEMU and on a physical machine. However, I do not see performance improvement during relocation. The performance is just as slow as before with disabled caches. Am I missing something? Perhaps, there is some flag that I should also enable in page table? Please provide me with any suggestions.
