Just a minor nit. You already wrap pti_clone_p4d() into X86_64. So it would
be cleaner to do:
kernel_p4d = p4d_offset(kernel_pgd, addr);
*user_p4d = *kernel_p4d;
}
static void __init pti_clone_user_shared(void)
{
pti_clone_p4d(CPU_ENTRY_AREA_BASE);
}
#else /* CONFIG_X86_64 */
/*
* Big fat comment.
*/
static void __init pti_clone_user_shared(void)
{
....
}
#endif /* !CONFIG_X86_64 */
