[patch V2 0/5] x86/kaiser: Boot time disabling and debug support

[Thomas Gleixner]

This patch series applies on top of

     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git WIP.x86/mm

It contains the following updates:

  - Don't set NX/PAGE_GLOBAL unconditionally

  - Get rid of the compile time PAGE_GLOBAL disabling

  - Add debug support for WX mappings in the KAISER shadow table

  - Provide debug files to dump the kernel and the user page table for the
    current task.

  - Add a boot time switch to disable KAISER. This does not yet take care of
    the 8k PGD allocations, but that can be done on top.

Changes vs. V1:

  - Prevent setting PAGE_GLOBAL/NX when not supported or disabled

  - Restructured the debug stuff a bit

  - Extended the boot time disable to debug stuff

I tried to reenable paravirt by disabling kaiser at boot time when XEN_PV
is detected. XEN_PV is the only one having CR3 access paravirtualized,
which will explode nicely in the enter/exit code.

But enabling KAISER has some weird not yet debugged side effects even on
KVM guests. Will look at that tomorrow morning.

Thanks,

	tglx
