From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
KAISER has two copies of the page tables: one for the kernel and
one for when running in userspace. There is also a kernel
portion of each of the page tables: the part that *maps* the
kernel.
The kernel portion is relatively static and uses pre-populated
PGDs. Nobody ever calls set_pgd() on the kernel portion during
normal operation.
The userspace portion of the page tables is updated frequently as
userspace pages are mapped and page table pages are allocated.
These updates of the userspace *portion* of the tables need to be
reflected into both the kernel and user/shadow copies.
The original KAISER patches did this by effectively looking at
the address that is being updated. If it is <PAGE_OFFSET,
it is considered to be doing an update for the userspace portion of the page
tables and must make an entry in the shadow.
However, this has a wrinkle: there are a few places where low
addresses are used in supervisor (kernel) mode. When EFI calls
are made, they use what are traditionally user addresses in
supervisor mode and trip over these checks. The trampoline code
that used for booting secondary CPUs has a similar issue.
Remember, there are two things that KAISER needs performed on a
userspace PGD:
1. Populate the shadow itself
2. Poison the kernel PGD so it can not be used by userspace.
This patch only performs these actions when dealing with a user
address *and* the PGD has _PAGE_USER set. That way, in-kernel
users of low addresses typically used by userspace are not
accidentally poisoned.
