From: Dave Hansen dave.hansen@linux.intel.com Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 15:07:38 +0100 Subject: x86/mm/pti: Allow NX poison to be set in p4d/pgd

From: Dave Hansen dave.hansen@linux.intel.com

commit 1c4de1ff4fe50453b968579ee86fac3da80dd783 upstream.

With PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION the user portion of the kernel page tables is poisoned with the NX bit so if the entry code exits with the kernel page tables selected in CR3, userspace crashes.

But doing so trips the p4d/pgd_bad() checks. Make sure it does not do that.
