Subject: [PATCH v4 11/11] x86/startup_64: Drop global variables keeping track
of LA57 state
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>
On x86_64, the core kernel is entered in long mode, which implies that
paging is enabled. This means that the CR4.LA57 control bit is
guaranteed to be in sync with the number of paging levels used by the
kernel, and there is no need to store this in a variable.
There is also no need to use variables for storing the calculations of
pgdir_shift and ptrs_per_p4d, as they are easily determined on the fly.
This removes the need for two different sources of truth for determining
whether 5-level paging is in use: CR4.LA57 always reflects the actual
state, and never changes from the point of view of the 64-bit core
kernel. The only potential concern is the cost of CR4 accesses, which
can be mitigated using alternatives patching based on feature detection.
Note that even the decompressor does not manipulate any page tables
before updating CR4.LA57, so it can also avoid the associated global
variables entirely. However, as it does not implement alternatives
patching, the associated ELF sections need to be discarded.
