From d972c8c08f96518ff02efd87c4fef594a833f6ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2023 16:09:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: fix poking_init() for Xen PV guests commit 26ce6ec364f18d2915923bc05784084e54a5c4cc upstream. Commit 3f4c8211d982 ("x86/mm: Use mm_alloc() in poking_init()") broke the kernel for running as Xen PV guest. It seems as if the new address space is never activated before being used, resulting in Xen rejecting to accept the new CR3 value (the PGD isn't pinned). Fix that by adding the now missing call of paravirt_arch_dup_mmap() to poking_init(). That call was previously done by dup_mm()->dup_mmap() and it is a NOP for all cases but for Xen PV, where it is just doing the pinning of the PGD.
