Subject: [PATCH 4.17 48/97] x86/speculation/l1tf: Protect PAE swap entries against L1TF

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@...e.cz>

commit 0d0f6249058834ffe1ceaad0bb31464af66f6e7a upstream

The PAE 3-level paging code currently doesn't mitigate L1TF by flipping the
offset bits, and uses the high PTE word, thus bits 32-36 for type, 37-63 for
offset. The lower word is zeroed, thus systems with less than 4GB memory are
safe. With 4GB to 128GB the swap type selects the memory locations vulnerable
to L1TF; with even more memory, also the swap offfset influences the address.
This might be a problem with 32bit PAE guests running on large 64bit hosts.

By continuing to keep the whole swap entry in either high or low 32bit word of
PTE we would limit the swap size too much. Thus this patch uses the whole PAE
PTE with the same layout as the 64bit version does. The macros just become a
bit tricky since they assume the arch-dependent swp_entry_t to be 32bit.
