Hi all,

I used Andy's patch to setup idt and implement #PF handler before kernel
decompression, and it works. Then a problem is encountered that when
choose a position above 4G and decompress kernel there system will
reboot to BIOS after kernel decompression. I use hlt command to position
where the asm code will cause that reboot and found it happened after
jumping when adjusted page table is loaded in arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S

        /* Setup early boot stage 4 level pagetables. */
        addq    phys_base(%rip), %rax   
        movq    %rax, %cr3     
    
        /* Ensure I am executing from virtual addresses */
        movq    $1f, %rax      
        jmp     *%rax          
1:  
    
        /* Check if nx is implemented */
        movl    $0x80000001, %eax       
        cpuid                                                                                                                                    
        movl    %edx,%edi

Now I doubt gdt table is not approporiate when extend identity mapping
to be above 4G in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.S. As far as I
understand, that gdt is a gdt with the 64bit segments using 32bit
descriptor, still has attribute of segment base addr and limit. I wrote
a simple patch to debug this, but still don't know how to make it work,
does anyone can help or point out what I should do to make it work?

Subject: [PATCH] extend the identity mapping to 8G
This patch add 4 more pages as pmd directory tables to extend the
identity mapping to cover 8G. And hardcode the position to 5G where
kernel will be relocated and decompressed. Meanwhile commented out
the relocation handling calling.
