Subject: [PATCH 4.14 017/146] x86/mm/pti: Share entry text PMD

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

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

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 6dc72c3cbca0580642808d677181cad4c6433893 upstream.

Share the entry text PMD of the kernel mapping with the user space
mapping. If large pages are enabled this is a single PMD entry and at the
point where it is copied into the user page table the RW bit has not been
cleared yet. Clear it right away so the user space visible map becomes RX.
