From 4bfaaef01a1badb9e8ffb0c0a37cd2379008d21f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Magnus Damm Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 10:52:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, x86_64) kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, x86_64) This patch upgrades the x86_64-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel. The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen --- Reading git-format-patch failed
