[PATCH 1/2] x86/mm: Move LDT remap out of KASLR region on 5-level paging

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Tue Oct 23 2018 - 12:32:14 EST


On 5-level paging LDT remap area is placed in the middle of
KASLR randomization region and it can overlap with direct mapping,
vmalloc or vmap area.

Let's move LDT just before direct mapping which makes it safe for KASLR.
This also allows us to unify layout between 4- and 5-level paging.

We don't touch 4 pgd slot gap just before the direct mapping reserved
for a hypervisor, but move direct mapping by one slot instead.

The LDT mapping is per-mm, so we cannot move it into P4D page table next
to CPU_ENTRY_AREA without complicating PGD table allocation for 5-level
paging.
