Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] x86/boot: Drop 5-level paging related variables and early updates
Date: Wed, 14 May 2025 12:42:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250514104242.1275040-15-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250514104242.1275040-9-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
The variable __pgtable_l5_enabled is no longer used so it can be
dropped.
Along with it, drop ptrs_per_p4d and pgdir_shift, and replace any
references to those with expressions based on pgtable_l5_enabled(). This
ensures that all observers see values that are mutually consistent.
