Dave Hansen 8a57f4849f x86/mm: Introduce "default" kernel PTE mask
The __PAGE_KERNEL_* page permissions are "raw".  They contain bits
that may or may not be supported on the current processor.  They need
to be filtered by a mask (currently __supported_pte_mask) to turn them
into a value that we can actually set in a PTE.

These __PAGE_KERNEL_* values all contain _PAGE_GLOBAL.  But, with PTI,
we want to be able to support _PAGE_GLOBAL (have the bit set in
__supported_pte_mask) but not have it appear in any of these masks by
default.

This patch creates a new mask, __default_kernel_pte_mask, and applies
it when creating all of the PAGE_KERNEL_* masks.  This makes
PAGE_KERNEL_* safe to use anywhere (they only contain supported bits).
It also ensures that PAGE_KERNEL_* contains _PAGE_GLOBAL on PTI=n
kernels but clears _PAGE_GLOBAL when PTI=y.

We also make __default_kernel_pte_mask a non-GPL exported symbol
because there are plenty of driver-available interfaces that take
PAGE_KERNEL_* permissions.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
