[PATCH 24/43] x86/mm/kaiser: Mark per-cpu data structures required for entry/exit

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Fri Nov 24 2017 - 12:29:58 EST


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

These patches are based on work from a team at Graz University of
Technology posted here: https://github.com/IAIK/KAISER

The KAISER approach keeps two copies of the page tables: one for running
in the kernel and one for running userspace. But, there are a few
structures that are needed for switching in and out of the kernel and
a good subset of *those* are per-cpu data.

Here's a short summary of the things mapped to userspace:
* The gdt_page's virtual address is pointed to by the LGDT instruction.
It is needed to define the segments. Deeply required by CPU to run.
* cpu_tss tells the CPU, among other things, where the new stacks are
after user<->kernel transitions. Needed by the CPU to make ring
transitions.
* exception_stacks are needed at interrupt and exception entry
so that there is storage for, among other things, some temporary
space to permit clobbering a register to load the kernel CR3.
