Subject: [RFC][PATCH -mm 4/4] Hibernation: Use temporary page tables for kernel text mapping on x86_64

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

Use temporary page tables for the kernel text mapping during hibernation restore
on x86_64.

Without the patch, the original boot kernel's page tables that represent the
kernel text mapping are used while the core of the image kernel is being
restored.  However, in principle, if the boot kernel is not identical to the
image kernel, the location of these page tables in the image kernel need not be
the same, so we should create a safe copy of the kernel text mapping prior to
restoring the core of the image kernel.
