Subject: [PATCH 4.4] x86/pti: Make unpoison of pgd for trusted boot work for real
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 18:16:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180130021618.228975-1-hughd@google.com> (raw)
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
commit 445b69e3b75e42362a5bdc13c8b8f61599e2228a upstream
The inital fix for trusted boot and PTI potentially misses the pgd clearing
if pud_alloc() sets a PGD. It probably works in *practice* because for two
adjacent calls to map_tboot_page() that share a PGD entry, the first will
clear NX, *then* allocate and set the PGD (without NX clear). The second
call will *not* allocate but will clear the NX bit.
Defer the NX clearing to a point after it is known that all top-level
allocations have occurred. Add a comment to clarify why.

hughd notes: I have not tested tboot, but this looks to me as necessary
and as safe in old-Kaiser backports as it is upstream; I'm not submitting
the commit-to-be-fixed 262b6b30087, since it was undone by 445b69e3b75e,
and makes conflict trouble because of 5-level's p4d versus 4-level's pgd.
