From b89d82ef01b33bc50cbaa8ff05607879b40d0704 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2019 16:19:01 +0000 Subject: arm64: kpti: Avoid rewriting early page tables when KASLR is enabled A side effect of commit c55191e96caa ("arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as well") is that the linear map is created with page granularity, which means that transitioning the early page table from global to non-global mappings when enabling kpti can take a significant amount of time during boot. Given that most CPU implementations do not require kpti, this mainly impacts KASLR builds where kpti is forcefully enabled. However, in these situations we know early on that non-global mappings are required and can avoid the use of global mappings from the beginning. The only gotcha is Cavium erratum #27456, which we must detect based on the MIDR value of the boot CPU.
