Subject: [PATCHv3 2/5] x86/boot/compressed/64: Print error if 5-level paging is not supported
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 15:40:56 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171204124059.63515-3-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171204124059.63515-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
We cannot proceed booting if the machine doesn't support the paging mode
kernel was compiled for.
Getting error the usual way -- via validate_cpu() -- is not going to
work. We need to enable appropriate paging mode before that, otherwise
kernel would triple-fault during KASLR setup.
This code will go away once we get support for boot-time switching
between paging modes.
