[PATCH v2 0/4] x86, mm: Handle large PAT bit in pud/pmd interfaces

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

 



The PAT bit gets relocated to bit 12 when PUD and PMD mappings are used.
This bit 12, however, is not covered by PTE_FLAGS_MASK, which is corrently
used for masking pfn and flags for all cases.

Patch 1/4-2/4 make changes necessary for patch 3/4 to use P?D_PAGE_MASK.

Patch 3/4 fixes pud/pmd interfaces to handle the PAT bit when PUD and PMD
mappings are used.

Patch 3/4 fixes /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables to show the PAT bit
properly.

Note, the PAT bit is first enabled in 4.2-rc1 with WT mappings.
