From 5e427ec2d066b48a5c27b3a5a3315f7e4e729077 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 20 May 2013 11:36:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In commit 78d77df71510 ("x86-64, init: Do not set NX bits on non-NX capable hardware") we added the early_pmd_flags that gets the NX bit set when a CPU supports NX. However, the new variable was marked __initdata, because the main _use_ of this is in an __init routine. However, the bit setting happens from secondary_startup_64(), which is called not only at bootup, but on every secondary CPU start. Including resuming from STR and at CPU hotplug time. So the value cannot be __initdata.
