From 944d2647dded12e2b05ad8ebc020644bb1997ce1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2005 00:21:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86_64: Drop global bit from early low mappings Drop global bit from early low mappings Suggested by Linus, originally also proposed by Suresh. This fixes a race condition with early start of udev, originally tracked down by Suresh B. Siddha. The problem was that switching to the user space VM would not clear the global low mappings for the beginning of memory, which lead to memory corruption. Drop the global bits. The kernel mapping stays global because it should stay constant. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
