From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The __PAGE_KERNEL_* page permissions are "raw". They contain bits that may or may not be supported on the current processor. They need to be filtered by a mask (currently __supported_pte_mask) to turn them into a value that we can actually set in a PTE. These __PAGE_KERNEL_* values all contain _PAGE_GLOBAL. But, with PTI, we want to be able to support _PAGE_GLOBAL (have the bit set in __supported_pte_mask) but not have it appear in any of these masks by default. This patch creates a new mask, __default_kernel_pte_mask, and applies it when creating all of the PAGE_KERNEL_* masks. This makes PAGE_KERNEL_* safe to use anywhere (they only contain supported bits). It also ensures that PAGE_KERNEL_* contains _PAGE_GLOBAL on PTI=n kernels but clears _PAGE_GLOBAL when PTI=y. We also make __default_kernel_pte_mask a non-GPL exported symbol because there are plenty of driver-available interfaces that take PAGE_KERNEL_* permissions.
