[PATCH 27/37] x86/mm/pti: Keep permissions when cloning kernel text in pti_clone_kernel_text()

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Mapping the kernel text area to user-space makes only sense
if it has the same permissions as in the kernel page-table.
If permissions are different this will cause a TLB reload
when using the kernel page-table, which is as good as not
mapping it at all.

On 64-bit kernels this patch makes no difference, as the
whole range cloned by pti_clone_kernel_text() is mapped RO
anyway. On 32 bit there are writeable mappings in the range,
so just keep the permissions as they are.
