Hi Linus,

Here are some numbers I gathered for Ingo on v2 of the patch-set:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=151844711432661&w=2
I don't think they significantly changed, but I can measure them again if needed.
Besides those, what other numbers/tests are you interested in?

Okay, I verify if there are any global bits left in the page-tables. According to the PTDUMP_X86 the cpu_entry_area is mapped with G=1 (which should be fine?) and another 4M range in the kernel mapping. I need to check what that is.
Thanks,
