[PATCH 4.14 2/5] perf tools: Fix kernel_start for PTI on x86

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

 



commit 19422a9f2a3be7f3a046285ffae4cbb571aa853a upstream.

On x86_64, PTI entry trampolines are less than the start of kernel text,
but still above 2^63. So leave kernel_start = 1ULL << 63 for x86_64.
