Subject: [PATCH urgent] Revert "x86/mm/32: Set NX in __supported_pte_mask before enabling paging"
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 08:52:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <59bd15f7f4b56b633a611b7f70876c6d2ad01a98.1461685884.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LRH.2.20.1604261024330.31341@math.ut.ee>

This reverts commit 320d25b6a05f8b73c23fc21025d2906ecdd2d4fc.

This change was problematic for a couple of reasons:

1. It missed a some entry points (Xen things and 64-bit native).

2. The entry it changed can be executed more than once.  This isn't
   really a problem, but it conflated per-cpu state setup and global
   state setup.

3. It broke 64-bit non-NX.  64-bit non-NX worked the other way around from
   32-bit -- __supported_pte_mask had NX set initially and was *cleared*
   in x86_configure_nx.  With the patch applied, it never got cleared.
