commit 40b05620e24a936ad03c21c6fba4d48202c5f0d4 Author: Demi Marie Obenour <demi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Thu Jan 5 16:19:43 2023 +0100 Commit: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Thu Jan 5 16:19:43 2023 +0100 x86/mm: avoid hard-coding PAT in get_page_from_l1e() get_page_from_l1e() relied on Xen's choice of PAT, which is brittle in the face of future PAT changes. Instead, compute the actual cacheability used by the CPU and switch on that, as this will work no matter what PAT Xen uses. No functional change intended. This code is itself questionable and may be removed in the future, but removing it would be an observable behavior change and so is out of scope for this patch series.
