From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 07:56:44 -0800 Subject: x86/mm/64: Make a full PGD-entry size hole in the memory map
From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org
commit 9f449772a3106bcdd4eb8fdeb281147b0e99fb30 upstream.
Shrink vmalloc space from 16384TiB to 12800TiB to enlarge the hole starting at 0xff90000000000000 to be a full PGD entry.
A subsequent patch will use this hole for the pagetable isolation LDT alias.
