Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] x86/boot: Synchronize trampoline_cr4_features and mmu_cr4_features directly
Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2016 02:29:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d48a263f9912389b957dd495a7127b009259ffe0.1470821230.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1470821230.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1470821230.git.luto@kernel.org>
The initialization process for trampoline_cr4_features and
mmu_cr4_features was confusing. The intent is for mmu_cr4_features
and *trampoline_cr4_features to stay in sync, but
trampoline_cr4_features is NULL until setup_real_mode() runs. The
old code synchronized *trampoline_cr4_features *twice*, once in
setup_real_mode() and once in setup_arch(). It also initialized
mmu_cr4_features in setup_real_mode(), which causes the actual value
of mmu_cr4_features to potentially depend on when setup_real_mode()
is called.
With this patch, mmu_cr4_features is initialized directly in
setup_arch(), and *trampoline_cr4_features is synchronized to
mmu_cr4_features when the trampoline is set up.
After this patch, it should be safe to defer setup_real_mode().
