From 5bf30316991d5bcda046343ee77d823cf16fdd03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 14:08:45 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] x86/kexec: Make kexec (mostly) work in 5-level paging mode Currently kexec() will crash when switching into a 5-level paging enabled kernel. I missed that we need to change relocate_kernel() to set CR4.LA57 flag if the kernel has 5-level paging enabled. I avoided using #ifdef CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL here and inferred if we need to enable 5-level paging from previous CR4 value. This way the code is ready for boot-time switching between paging modes. With this patch applied, in addition to kexec 4-to-4 which always worked, we can kexec 4-to-5 and 5-to-5 - while 5-to-4 will need more work. Reported-by: Baoquan He Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
