[PATCHv2 00/10] Boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Tue Jul 18 2017 - 10:20:28 EST


[ This patchset is on top my previous 5-level paging patchset[1] ]

The basic idea is to implement the same logic as pgtable-nop4d.h provides,
but at runtime.

Runtime folding is only implemented for CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y case. With the
option disabled, we do compile-time folding as before..

Initially, I tried to fold pgd instread. I've got to shell, but it
required a lot of hacks as kernel threats pgd in a special way.

Comparing to RFC patchset, I've dealt with hacks and performance should be
fine now.

Please review and consider applying.

x86/kasan: Use the same shadow offset for 4- and 5-level paging
x86/xen: Provide pre-built page tables only for XEN_PV and XEN_PVH
x86/boot/compressed/64: Detect and handle 5-level paging at boot-time
x86/mm: Make virtual memory layout movable for CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL
x86/mm: Make PGDIR_SHIFT and PTRS_PER_P4D variable
x86/mm: Handle boot-time paging mode switching at early boot
x86/mm: Fold p4d page table layer at runtime
x86/mm: Replace compile-time checks for 5-level with runtime-time
x86/mm: Allow to boot without la57 if CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y
x86/mm: Offset boot-time paging mode switching cost
