[PATCH 4.4 11/67] x86/pti: Make unpoison of pgd for trusted boot work for real
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. -- From: Dave Hansencommit 445b69e3b75e42362a5bdc13c8b8f61599e2228a upstream. The inital fix for trusted boot and PTI potentially misses the pgd clearing if pud_alloc() sets a PGD. It probably works in *practice* because for two adjacent calls to map_tboot_page() that share a PGD entry, the first will clear NX, *then* allocate and set the PGD (without NX clear). The second call will *not* allocate but will clear the NX bit. Defer the NX clearing to a point after it is known that all top-level allocations have occurred. Add a comment to clarify why.
