kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V2, i386)
This patch upgrades the i386-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the
current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used
to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel.
The code introduces a new set of page tables called "page_table_a". These
tables are used to provide an executable identity mapping without overwriting
the current pgd. This updated version of the patch fixes a PAE bug and moves
the segment handling code into the reloacte_kernel.S.
Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <[email protected]>
---
The patch has been tested with regular kexec and CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP.
Both PAE and non-PAE configurations work well.
Applies on top of 2.6.16 and 2.6.17-rc4.
