Note that on top of latest -tip the bzImage build fails with:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/pagetable.o: In function `kernel_ident_mapping_init':
pagetable.c:(.text+0x31b): undefined reference to `kaiser_enabled'
arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile:109: recipe for target
'arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux' failed
that's I think because the early boot code shares some code via
kernel_ident_mapping_init() et al, and that code grew a new KAISER runtime
variable which isn't present in the special early-boot environment.
I.e. something like the (totally untested) patch below should do the trick.
Thanks,
Ingo
