[PATCH 3/3] x86/mm/pti: Clone kernel-image on PTE level for 32 bit

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Tue Aug 07 2018 - 06:24:45 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

On 32 bit the kernel sections are not huge-page aligned.
When we clone them on PMD-level we unevitably map some areas
that are normal kernel memory and may contain secrets to
user-space. To prevent that we need to clone the
kernel-image on PTE-level for 32 bit.

Also make the page-table cloning clode more general so that
it can handle PMD and PTE level cloning. This can be
generalized further in the future to also handle clones on
the P4D-level.
