The basic idea is to implement the same logic as pgtable-nop4d.h provides,
but at runtime.
Runtime folding is only implemented for CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y case. With the
option disabled, we do compile-time folding as before.
Initially, I tried to fold pgd instread. I've got to shell, but it
required a lot of hacks as kernel threats pgd in a special way.
Ingo, if no objections, could you apply the series?
v7:
- Rebased to up-to-date tip/master;
- Use xor instead of mov for zeroing registers in assembly;
v6:
- Fix few checkpatch warnings;
v5:
- Split changes into more patches;
- Rename p4d_folded to pgtable_l5_enabled and reverse logic around it;
- Update commit messages to reflect effect on kernel image size;
v4:
- Use ALTERNATIVE to patch return_from_SYSCALL_64 (Andi);
- Use __read_mostly where appropriate (Andi);
- Make X86_5LEVEL dependant on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP;
- Fix build errors and warnings;
v3:
- Make sparsemem data structures allocation dynamic to lower memory overhead on
4-level paging machines;
- Allow XEN_PV and XEN_PVH to be enabled with X86_5LEVEL;
- XEN cleanups;
