From a84f24230c137a4e0ab14185e9175798ca1b0376 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Metcalf Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 14:35:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tile: map data region shadow of kernel as R/W This is necessary for things like reading /proc/kcore, doing ftrace, etc. It happens by default when using huge pages to map the kernel data, but not when using small pages.
