[PATCH 0/9] x86: enable boot-time switching between paging modes

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

 



This patchset finally brings support of switching between 4- and 5-level
paging modes!

There will be few patches after this to optimize switching and support
mode Xen modes, but this makes the same kernel image to run on both 4- and
5-level machines.

Please review and consider applying.

First 5 patches is split up of the last patch from the previous patchset.
The rest is pretty trivial too.

Kirill A. Shutemov (9):
  x86/mm: Initialize pgtable_l5_enabled at boot-time
  x86/mm: Initialize pgdir_shift and ptrs_per_p4d at boot-time
  x86/mm: Initialize page_offset_base at boot-time
  x86/mm: Adjust vmalloc base and size at boot-time
  x86/mm: Initialize vmemmap_base at boot-time
  x86/mm: Make early boot code support boot-time switching of paging
    modes
  x86/mm: Fold p4d page table layer at runtime
  x86/mm: Replace compile-time checks for 5-level with runtime-time
  x86/mm: Allow to boot without la57 if CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y
