[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 02/86] x86/setup: Fix low identity map for >= 2GB kernel range

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Wed Dec 02 2015 - 18:27:32 EST


3.13.11-ckt31 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Krzysztof Mazur <krzysiek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 68accac392d859d24adcf1be3a90e41f978bd54c upstream.

The commit f5f3497cad8c extended the low identity mapping. However, if
the kernel uses more than 2 GB (VMSPLIT_2G_OPT or VMSPLIT_1G memory
split), the normal memory mapping is overwritten by the low identity
mapping causing a crash. To avoid overwritting, limit the low identity
map to cover only memory before kernel range (PAGE_OFFSET).

Fixes: f5f3497cad8c "x86/setup: Extend low identity map to cover whole kernel range
