[PATCH RFC 5/9] x86, mm: Use cache of page tables

Rick Edgecombe
2021-05-05T00:32:39Z

Change the page table allocation functions defined in pgalloc.h to use
a cache of physically grouped pages. This will let the page tables to be
set with PKS permissions later.

For userspace page tables, they are gathered up using mmu gather, and
freed along with other types of pages in swap.c. Reuse the PageTable
page flag to communicate that swap needs to return this page to the
cache of page tables, and not free it to the page allocator. Set this flag
in the free_tlb() family of functions called by mmu gather.

Do not set PKS permissions on the page tables, because the page table
setting functions cannot handle it yet. This will be done in later
patches.
