Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] x86/realmode: Add comment for Global bit usage in trampline_pgd
Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2021 16:32:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211202153226.22946-2-joro@8bytes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211202153226.22946-1-joro@8bytes.org>
From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>
Document the fact that using the trampoline_pgd will result in the
creation of global TLB entries in the user range of the address
space.
