[PATCH 0/2] x86, mm: Fix PAT bit handling of large pages
From: Toshi Kani
Date: Thu Jul 09 2015 - 13:05:01 EST
The PAT bit gets relocated to bit 12 when PUD and PMD mappings are
used. This bit 12, however, is not covered by PTE_FLAGS_MASK, which
is corrently used for masking the flag bits for all cases.
Patch 1/2 fixes pud_flags() and pmd_flags() to handle the PAT bit
when PUD and PMD mappings are used.
Patch 2/2 fixes /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables to show the
PAT bit properly.
Note, the PAT bit is first enabled in 4.2-rc1 with WT mappings.
