From 231b3642a3c73fb9f1221dcb96fe8c0fbb658dfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yinghai Lu Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 12:19:47 -0800 Subject: x86, realmode: Set real_mode permissions early Trampoline code is executed by APs with kernel low mapping on 64bit. We need to set trampoline code to EXEC early before we boot APs. Found the problem after switching to #PF handler set page table, and we do not set initial kernel low mapping with EXEC anymore in arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S. Change to use early_initcall instead that will make sure trampoline will have EXEC set. -v2: Merge two comments according to Borislav Petkov Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359058816-7615-7-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org Signed-off-by: H.
