[PATCH 3/4] x86, 64bit: remove highmap for not needed ranges

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Tue Nov 18 2014 - 20:44:53 EST


add cleanup_highmap_late to remove highmap for initmem, around rodata, and
[_brk_end, all_end).

Kernel Layout:

[ 0.000000] .text: [0x01000000-0x0200df88]
[ 0.000000] .rodata: [0x02200000-0x02a1dfff]
[ 0.000000] .data: [0x02c00000-0x02e510ff]
[ 0.000000] .init: [0x02e53000-0x03213fff]
[ 0.000000] .bss: [0x03222000-0x0437cfff]
[ 0.000000] .brk: [0x0437d000-0x043a2fff]

Actually used brk:
[ 0.270365] memblock_reserve: [0x0000000437d000-0x00000004383fff] flags 0x0 BRK

0xffffffff83200000-0xffffffff83214000 80K pte
0xffffffff83214000-0xffffffff83400000 1968K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffff83400000-0xffffffff84200000 14M RW PSE GLB NX pmd
0xffffffff84200000-0xffffffff84384000 1552K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffff84384000-0xffffffff84400000 496K pte
0xffffffff84400000-0xffffffffa0000000 444M pmd

So remove some range before rodata with RW+x.

-v4: adapt it to all_end change.
