[PATCH v3 3/4] x86/mm: Flush global TLB when switching to trampoline page-table

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Fri Oct 01 2021 - 11:48:50 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Move the switching code into a function so that it can be re-used and
add a global TLB flush. This makes sure that usage of memory which is
not mapped in the trampoline page-table is reliably caught.
