Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.

Meelis reported that his K8 Athlon64 emits MCE warnings when PTI is enabled: [Hardware Error]: Error Addr: 0x0000ffff81e000e0 [Hardware Error]: MC1 Error: L1 TLB multimatch. [Hardware Error]: cache level: L1, tx: INSN The address is in the entry area, which is mapped into kernel _AND_ user space. That's special because we switch CR3 while we are executing there. User mapping: 0xffffffff81e00000-0xffffffff82000000 2M ro PSE GLB x pmd Kernel mapping: 0xffffffff81000000-0xffffffff82000000 16M ro PSE x pmd So the K8 is complaining that the TLB entries differ. They differ in the GLB bit. Drop the GLB bit when installing the user shared mapping. Fixes: 6dc72c3c ("x86/mm/pti: Share entry text PMD") Reported-by:Meelis Roos <mroos@linux.ee> Signed-off-by:
