From ae897fda4f507e4b239f0bdfd578b3688ca96fb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Thu, 20 May 2021 13:42:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/Xen: swap NX determination and GDT setup on BSP xen_setup_gdt(), via xen_load_gdt_boot(), wants to adjust page tables. For this to work when NX is not available, x86_configure_nx() needs to be called first. [jgross] Note that this is a revert of 36104cb9012a82e73 ("x86/xen: Delay get_cpu_cap until stack canary is established"), which is possible now that we no longer support running as PV guest in 32-bit mode.
