    x86/mm: Fix overlap of i386 CPU_ENTRY_AREA with FIX_BTMAP · 55f49fcb
    William Grant authored
    Since commit 92a0f81d ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the
    fixmap"), i386's CPU_ENTRY_AREA has been mapped to the memory area just
    below FIXADDR_START. But already immediately before FIXADDR_START is the
    FIX_BTMAP area, which means that early_ioremap can collide with the entry
    area.
    
    It's especially bad on PAE where FIX_BTMAP_BEGIN gets aligned to exactly
    match CPU_ENTRY_AREA_BASE, so the first early_ioremap slot clobbers the
    IDT and causes interrupts during early boot to reset the system.
    
    The overlap wasn't a problem before the CPU entry area was introduced,
    as the fixmap has classically been preceded by the pkmap or vmalloc
    areas, neither of which is used until early_ioremap is out of the
    picture.
    
    Relocate CPU_ENTRY_AREA to below FIX_BTMAP, not just below the permanent
    fixmap area.
