From ca3a4163bb5d66c346801c83c9296e7fe97b6132 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bryan O'Donoghue Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2014 00:26:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/intel/quark: Switch off CR4.PGE so TLB flush uses CR3 instead commit ee1b5b165c0a2f04d2107e634e51f05d0eb107de upstream. Quark x1000 advertises PGE via the standard CPUID method PGE bits exist in Quark X1000's PTEs. In order to flush an individual PTE it is necessary to reload CR3 irrespective of the PTE.PGE bit. See Quark Core_DevMan_001.pdf section 6.4.11 This bug was fixed in Galileo kernels, unfixed vanilla kernels are expected to crash and burn on this platform.
