[PATCH -tip] x86/mm/32: Sync only to LDT_BASE_ADDR in vmalloc_sync_all()

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

When vmalloc_sync_all() iterates over the address space until
FIX_ADDR_TOP it will sync the whole kernel address space starting from
VMALLOC_START.

This is not a problem when the kernel address range is identical in
all page-tables, but this is no longer the case when PTI is enabled on
x86-32. In that case the per-process LDT is mapped in the kernel
address range and vmalloc_sync_all() clears the LDT mapping for all
processes.

To make LDT working again vmalloc_sync_all() must only iterate over
the volatile parts of the kernel address range that are identical
between all processes. This includes the VMALLOC and the PKMAP areas
on x86-32.

The order of the ranges in the address space is:

	VMALLOC -> PKMAP -> LDT -> CPU_ENTRY_AREA -> FIX_ADDR

So the right check in vmalloc_sync_all() is "address < LDT_BASE_ADDR"
to make sure the VMALLOC and PKMAP areas are synchronized and the LDT
mapping is not falsely overwritten. the CPU_ENTRY_AREA and
the FIXMAP area are no longer synced as well, but these
ranges are synchronized on page-table creation time and do
not change during runtime.

This change fixes the ldt_gdt selftest in my setup.
