From 18ec1eaf58fbf2d9009a752a102a3d8e0d905a0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2019 12:54:52 +0300 Subject: x86/mm: Enable 5-level paging support by default Support of boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging mode is upstream since 4.17. We run internal testing with 5-level paging support enabled for a while and it doesn't not cause any functional or performance regression on 4-level paging hardware. The only 5-level paging related regressions I saw were in early boot code that runs independently from CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL. The next major release of distributions expected to have CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y. Enable the option by default. It may help to catch obscure bugs early. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov Acked-by: Dave Hansen Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: H.
