    arm64: kpti: Update arm64_kernel_use_ng_mappings() when forced on · 2f979675
    James Morse authored
    Since commit b89d82ef
    
     ("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.
