[PATCH 4.14 037/178] x86/boot/compressed/64: Detect and handle 5-level paging at boot-time

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

commit 08529078d8d9adf689bf39cc38d53979a0869970 upstream.

Prerequisite for fixing the current problem of instantaneous reboots when a
5-level paging kernel is booted on 4-level paging hardware.

At the same time this change prepares the decompression code to boot-time
switching between 4- and 5-level paging.

[ tglx: Folded the GCC < 5 fix. ]

[PATCH 4.14 038/178] x86/boot/compressed/64: Print error if 5-level paging is not supported

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

commit 6d7e0ba2d2be9e50cccba213baf07e0e183c1b24 upstream.

If the machine does not support the paging mode for which the kernel was
compiled, the boot process cannot continue.

It's not possible to let the kernel detect the mismatch as it does not even
reach the point where cpu features can be evaluted due to a triple fault in
the KASLR setup.

Instead of instantaneous silent reboot, emit an error message which gives
the user the information why the boot fails.
