[PATCH 1/5] x86, pti: fix boot problems from Global-bit setting

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

 



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Part of the global bit _setting_ patches also includes clearing the
Global bit when we do not want it.  That is done with
set_memory_nonglobal(), which uses change_page_attr_clear() in
pageattr.c under the covers.

The TLB flushing code inside pageattr.c has has checks like
BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()), looking for interrupt disabling that might
cause deadlocks.  But, these also trip in early boot on certain
preempt configurations.  Just copy the existing BUG_ON() sequence from
cpa_flush_range() to the other two sites and check for early boot.
