[RFC PATCH 00/16] PTI support for x86-32

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Hi,

here is my current WIP code to enable PTI on x86-32. It is
still in a pretty early state, but it successfully boots my
KVM guest with PAE and with legacy paging. The existing PTI
code for x86-64 already prepares a lot of the stuff needed
for 32 bit too, thanks for that to all the people involved
in its development :)

The patches are split as follows:

	- 1-3 contain the entry-code changes to enter and
	  exit the kernel via the sysenter trampoline stack.

	- 4-7 are fixes to get the code compile on 32 bit
	  with CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y.

	- 8-14 adapt the existing PTI code to work properly
	  on 32 bit and add the needed parts to 32 bit
	  page-table code.

	- 15 switches PTI on by adding the CR3 switches to
	  kernel entry/exit.

	- 16 enables the Kconfig for all of X86

The code has not run on bare-metal yet, I'll test that in
the next days once I setup a 32 bit box again. I also havn't
tested Wine and DosEMU yet, so this might also be broken.

With that post I'd like to ask for all kinds of constructive
feedback on the approaches I have taken and of course the
many things I broke with it :)

One of the things that are surely broken is XEN_PV support.
I'd appreciate any help with testing and bugfixing on that
front.

So please review and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

	Joerg
