From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The machine_kexec() uses set_memory_x to add the executable attribute to the page table entry of control_code_buffer. It only modifies the init_mm but not the current->active_mm. The current kexec process won't use init_mm directly, and it depends on minor_pagefault, which is removed by commit 7d3332be011e4 ("riscv: mm: Pre-allocate PGD entries for vmalloc/modules area") of 64BIT. So, when it met pud mapping on an MMU_SV39 machine, it caused the following: kexec_core: Starting new kernel Will call new kernel at 00300000 from hart id 0 FDT image at 747c7000 Bye...
