[PATCH 1/2] x86, pti: fix boot problems from Global-bit setting

[Dave Hansen]

These are _very_ lightly tested.  I'm throwing them out there for
folks are looking for a fix.

---

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

Part of the global bit _setting_ patches also includes clearing the
Global bit when we do not want it.  That is done with
set_memory_nonglobal(), which uses change_page_attr_clear() in
pageattr.c under the covers.  However, it's pretty clear that
change_page_attr_clear() has not been heavily used early in boot, or
on kernel text.

It has checks like BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()), looking for interrupt
disabling but that also trip in early boot on certain preempt
configurations.  Just copy the existing BUG_ON() sequence to check for
early boot.

[PATCH 2/2] x86, pti: fix boot warning from Global-bit setting

[Dave Hansen]

These are _very_ lightly tested.  I'm throwing them out there for
folks are looking for a fix.

---

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

pageattr.c is not friendly when it encounters empty (zero) PTEs.  The
kernel linear map is exempt from these checks, but kernel text is not.
This patch adds the code to also exempt kernel text from these checks.
The proximate cause of these warnings was most likely an __init area
that spanned a 2MB page boundary that resulted in a "zero" PMD.
