Turns out that KERNEL_PGD_PTRS is not the correct constant to use when copying to the lower region because that's every PGD from PAGE_OFFSET to the end of the addressable memory. Crucially, KERNEL_PGD_PTRS > KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY and so the patch ends up trashing some of the kernel mappings in 'initial_page'table, leading to boot crashes on 32-bit SMP when bringing APs online. The following changes since commit 9ee870feaa9e0c6abef95a3b1fc518d88adfa2d3: Merge branch 'x86/cpufeature' into x86/urgent, to pick up pending Intel MID change (2015-11-03 12:00:40 +0100) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi.git tags/efi-urgent for you to fetch changes up to 5965d1bbeba70fe3626e4537f4729283cb0e75f7: x86/setup: Fix recent boot crash on 32-bit SMP machines (2015-11-04 09:26:24 +0000) ---------------------------------------------------------------- * Avoid trashing the kernel mappings in 'initial_page_table' when copying the identity mapping from 'swapper_pg_dir'. This bug was introduced by a bug fix in v4.3 which erroneously copies too many entries from 'swapper_pg_dir'. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Fleming (1): x86/setup: Fix recent boot crash on 32-bit SMP machines arch/x86/kernel/setup.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
