[PATCH 24/31] x86/mm/pti: Clone CPU_ENTRY_AREA on PMD level on x86_32

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

 



From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Cloning on the P4D level would clone the complete kernel
address space into the user-space page-tables for PAE
kernels. Cloning on PMD level is fine for PAE and legacy
paging.
