When we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, we want to split the linear mapping at the text/data boundary so we can map the kernel text read only. Currently we always use a small page at the text/data boundary, even when that's not necessary: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000e00000 with 2.00 MiB pages Mapped 0x0000000000e00000-0x0000000001000000 with 64.0 KiB pages Mapped 0x0000000001000000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages This is because the check that the mapping crosses the __init_begin boundary is too strict, it also returns true when we map exactly up to the boundary. So fix it to check that the mapping would actually map past __init_begin, and with that we see: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages Mapped 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000100000000 with 1.00 GiB pages Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
