[PATCH] x86_64: Drop global bit from early low mappings
Drop global bit from early low mappings Suggested by Linus, originally also proposed by Suresh. This fixes a race condition with early start of udev, originally tracked down by Suresh B. Siddha. The problem was that switching to the user space VM would not clear the global low mappings for the beginning of memory, which lead to memory corruption. Drop the global bits. The kernel mapping stays global because it should stay constant. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
