Please let me know if you need anything else.So I grabbed that config, stuck it in the build dir I used last time and upgraded gcc-13 from 13.2 ro 13.3. But alas, my build runs successfully :/ Is there anything else special I missed?run.sh is not exacrlty the same this time, different CPU model, that made it go. OK, lemme poke at this.Urgh, so crypto's late_initcall() does user-mode-helper based modprobe looking for algorithms before we kick off /bin/init :/ This makes things difficult. Urgh.So the problem is that mark_readonly() splits a code PMD due to NX. Then the second pti_clone_entry_text() finds a kernel PTE but a user PMD mapping for the same address (from the early clone) and gets upset. And we can't run mark_readonly() sooner, because initcall expect stuff to be RW. But initcalls do modprobe, which runs user crap before we're done initializing everything. This is a right mess, and I really don't know what to do.
And there was me thinking this one should be easy to solve. Oh well. Maybe Linus has an idea ? I am getting a bit wary to reporting all those weird problems to him, though. Guenter
