6.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c48b5a4cf3125adb679e28ef093f66ff81368d05 upstream. So it turns out that we have to do two passes of pti_clone_entry_text(), once before initcalls, such that device and late initcalls can use user-mode-helper / modprobe and once after free_initmem() / mark_readonly(). Now obviously mark_readonly() can cause PMD splits, and pti_clone_pgtable() doesn't like that much. Allow the late clone to split PMDs so that pagetables stay in sync.
