[PATCH 0/3] x86/mm/5lvl: Optimize boot-time switching, allow more Xen modes

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

 



This is the last batch of patches that enable boot-time switching
between paging modes.

The first patch allows two more Xen modes to be enabled with
CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y. These modes don't support 5-level paging,
but we can use them when boot into 4-level paging mode.

The last two patches optimize switching between paging modes by
using code pathching in all hot paths.

Please review and cosider applying.

Kirill A. Shutemov (3):
  x86/xen: Allow XEN_PV and XEN_PVH to be enabled with X86_5LEVEL
  x86/mm: Redefine some of page table helpers as macros
  x86/mm: Offset boot-time paging mode switching cost
