[PATCH] Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, x86_64)
kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, x86_64)
This patch upgrades the x86_64-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the
current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used
to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel.
The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide
an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd.
