This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/boot/64: Strip percpu address space when setting up GDT descriptors to the 6.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-boot-64-strip-percpu-address-space-when-setting-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 74110a4b3c7ecb48d357f143262a38ab16bdf3c7 Author: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 19 10:33:13 2024 +0200 x86/boot/64: Strip percpu address space when setting up GDT descriptors [ Upstream commit b51207dc02ec3aeaa849e419f79055d7334845b6 ] init_per_cpu_var() returns a pointer in the percpu address space while rip_rel_ptr() expects a pointer in the generic address space. When strict address space checks are enabled, GCC's named address space checks fail: asm.h:124:63: error: passing argument 1 of 'rip_rel_ptr' from pointer to non-enclosed address space Add a explicit cast to remove address space of the returned pointer.
