x86/mm/pti: Clear Global bit more aggressively
The kernel image starts out with the Global bit set across the entire
kernel image. The bit is cleared with set_memory_nonglobal() in the
configurations with PCIDs where the performance benefits of the Global bit
are not needed.
However, this is fragile. It means that we are stuck opting *out* of the
less-secure (Global bit set) configuration, which seems backwards. Let's
start more secure (Global bit clear) and then let things opt back in if
they want performance, or are truly mapping common data between kernel and
userspace.
This fixes a bug. Before this patch, there are areas that are unmapped
from the user page tables (like like everything above 0xffffffff82600000 in
the example below). These have the hallmark of being a wrong Global area:
they are not identical in the 'current_kernel' and 'current_user' page
table dumps. They are also read-write, which means they're much more
likely to contain secrets.
Before this patch:
