Linux kernel stable tree
d0ceea662d
The set_p4d() and set_pgd() functions (in 4-level or 5-level page table setups respectively) assume that the root page table is actually a 8KiB allocation, with the userspace root immediately after the kernel root page table (so that the former can enforce NX on on all the subordinate page tables, which are actually shared). However, users of the kernel_ident_mapping_init() code do not give it an 8KiB allocation for its PGD. Both swsusp_arch_resume() and acpi_mp_setup_reset() allocate only a single 4KiB page. The kexec code on x86_64 currently gets away with it purely by chance, because it allocates 8KiB for its "control code page" and then actually uses the first half for the PGD, then copies the actual trampoline code into the second half only after the identmap code has finished scribbling over it. Fix this by defining a _PAGE_NOPTISHADOW bit (which can use the same bit as _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY since one is only for the PGD/P4D root and the other is exclusively for leaf PTEs.). This instructs __pti_set_user_pgtbl() not to write to the userspace 'shadow' PGD. Strictly, the _PAGE_NOPTISHADOW bit doesn't need to be written out to the actual page tables; since __pti_set_user_pgtbl() returns the value to be written to the kernel page table, it could be filtered out. But there seems to be no benefit to actually doing so.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
