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.While I had dinner with the family, Thomas cooked up the below, which seems to make it happy. It basically splits the PMD on the late copy.
The patch below passes all my tests. Tested-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Thanks! Guenter
