    Subject[PATCH 4.1 39/95] x86/setup: Fix low identity map for >= 2GB kernel range
    Date
    4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

    From: Krzysztof Mazur <krzysiek@podlesie.net>

    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
