[PATCH V5 1/3] riscv: Use global mappings for kernel pages

From: guoren
Date: Sun May 30 2021 - 12:50:27 EST


From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We map kernel pages into all addresses space, so they can be marked as
global. This allows hardware to avoid flushing the kernel mappings when
moving between address spaces.
