[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] x86/setup: Fix low identity map for >= 2GB kernel range

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

 



From: Krzysztof Mazur <krzysiek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 68accac392d859d24adcf1be3a90e41f978bd54c upstream.

The commit f5f3497cad8c extended the low identity mapping. However, if
the kernel uses more than 2 GB (VMSPLIT_2G_OPT or VMSPLIT_1G memory
split), the normal memory mapping is overwritten by the low identity
mapping causing a crash. To avoid overwritting, limit the low identity
map to cover only memory before kernel range (PAGE_OFFSET).

Fixes: f5f3497cad8c "x86/setup: Extend low identity map to cover whole kernel range
