[PATCHv7 5/4] x86/boot/compressed/64: Support switching from 5- to 4-level paging

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

 



If a bootloader enabled 5-level paging before handing off control to
kernel, we may want to switch it to 4-level paging when kernel is
compiled with CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=n.

Let's modify decompression code to handle the situation.

This will fail if the kernel image is loaded above 64TiB since 4-level
paging would not be able to access the image.
