"Resource Control" is a very broad term for this CPU feature, and a term
that is also associated with containers, cgroups etc. This can easily
cause confusion.

Make the user prompt more specific. Match the config symbol name.

 [ bp: In the future, the corresponding ARM arch-specific code will be
   under ARM_CPU_RESCTRL and the arch-agnostic bits will be carved out
   under the CPU_RESCTRL umbrella symbol. ]

So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the dependent commit of: e7b66d16fe4172 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot params if available") just remove the setup_header reference in order to replace it by a boot_params in a followup patch.

  ae7e1238e68f2a ("x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header")

should be reverted as setup_header should only contain items set by the
legacy BIOS.

So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the dependent commit
of:

  e7b66d16fe4172 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot params if available")

just remove the setup_header reference in order to replace it by
a boot_params in a followup patch.

x86/mm: Move LDT remap out of KASLR region on 5-level paging 2018-11-06T20:35:11+00:00 Kirill A. Shutemov kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com 2018-10-26T12:28:54+00:00 d52888aa2753e3063a9d3a0c9f72f94aa9809c15 On 5-level paging the LDT remap area is placed in the middle of the KASLR randomization region and it can overlap with the direct mapping, the vmalloc or the vmap area. The LDT mapping is per mm, so it cannot be moved into the P4D page table next to the CPU_ENTRY_AREA without complicating PGD table allocation for 5-level paging. The 4 PGD slot gap just before the direct mapping is reserved for hypervisors, so it cannot be used. Move the direct mapping one slot deeper and use the resulting gap for the LDT remap area. The resulting layout is the same for 4 and 5 level paging. [ tglx: Massaged changelog ] Fixes: f55f0501cbf6 ("x86/pti: Put the LDT in its own PGD if PTI is on") Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
