Hello Experts,

I have a requirement to change __log_buf memory(kernel printk buffer)
as non cacheable memory.
How can I change the page attributes for changing cache policy to non

cacheable?

I just can give short clue. I think somehow you must find its PTE
entry...there, IIRC there is page attribute that can be changed to
make it uncacheable.

cross check the Intel processor manual for further clarification (if
it's indeed x86 arch)

The __log_buf is a static array. Will it be in cacheable page? And by
cacheable here, I guess we mean entry present in page cache, right?
