[PATCH] x86/kexec: Only write through identity mapping of control page

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The virtual mapping of the control page may have been _PAGE_GLOBAL and
thus its PTE might not have been flushed on the %cr3 switch and it might
effectively still be read-only. Move the writes to it down into the
identity_mapped() function where the same %rip-relative addressing will
get the new mapping.

The stack is fine, as that's using the identity mapped address anyway.

Fixes: 5a82223e0743 ("x86/kexec: Mark relocate_kernel page as ROX instead of RWX")
