Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/mm: introduce __PAGE_KERNEL_GLOBAL


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

Kernel mappings are historically _PAGE_GLOBAL.  But, with PTI, we do not
want them to be _PAGE_GLOBAL.  We currently accomplish this by simply
clearing _PAGE_GLOBAL from the suppotred mask which ensures it is
cleansed from many of our PTE construction sites:

        if (!static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PTI))
	                __supported_pte_mask |= _PAGE_GLOBAL;

But, this also means that we now get *no* opportunity to use global
pages with PTI, even for data which is shared such as the cpu_entry_area
and entry/exit text.

This patch introduces a new mask: __PAGE_KERNEL_GLOBAL.  This mask
can be thought of as the default global bit value when creating kernel
mappings.  We make it _PAGE_GLOBAL when PTI=n, but 0 when PTI=y.  This
ensures that on PTI kernels, all of the __PAGE_KERNEL_* users will not
get _PAGE_GLOBAL.

This also restores _PAGE_GLOBAL to __supported_pte_mask, allowing it
to be set in the first place.
