James Morse 2f97967503 arm64: kpti: Update arm64_kernel_use_ng_mappings() when forced on 
Since commit b89d82ef01 ("arm64: kpti: Avoid rewriting early page
tables when KASLR is enabled"), a kernel built with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE
can decide early whether to use non-global mappings by checking the
kaslr_offset().

A kernel built without CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, instead checks the
cpufeature static-key.

This leaves a gap where CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE was enabled, no
kaslr seed was provided, but kpti was forced on using the cmdline
option.

When the decision is made late, kpti_install_ng_mappings() will re-write
the page tables, but arm64_kernel_use_ng_mappings()'s value does not
change as it only tests the cpufeature static-key if
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is disabled.
This function influences PROT_DEFAULT via PTE_MAYBE_NG, and causes
pgattr_change_is_safe() to catch nG->G transitions when the unchanged
PROT_DEFAULT is used as part of PAGE_KERNEL_RO:

If arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() is true, arm64_kernel_use_ng_mappings()
should also be true.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
