[PATCH 4.20 143/145] parisc: Remap hugepage-aligned pages in set_kernel_text_rw()

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

 



4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>

commit dfbaecb2b707cfdc5276b548d52b437384bd6483 upstream.

The alternative coding patch for parisc in kernel 4.20 broke booting
machines with PA8500-PA8700 CPUs. The problem is, that for such machines
the parisc kernel automatically utilizes huge pages to access kernel
text code, but the set_kernel_text_rw() function, which is used shortly
before applying any alternative patches, didn't used the correctly
hugepage-aligned addresses to remap the kernel text read-writeable.
