[PATCHv2 28/29] x86: enable 5-level paging support

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

 



Most of things are in place and we can enable support of 5-level paging.

MPX for 5-level paging will be enabled with separate patchset.
It requires change to GCC components which has not ready yet.
