    arm64: Don't use KPTI where we have E0PD · 92ac6fd1
    Mark Brown authored
    Since E0PD is intended to fulfil the same role as KPTI we don't need to
    use KPTI on CPUs where E0PD is available, we can rely on E0PD instead.
    Change the check that forces KPTI on when KASLR is enabled to check for
    E0PD before doing so, CPUs with E0PD are not expected to be affected by
    meltdown so should not need to enable KPTI for other reasons.
    
    Since E0PD is a system capability we will still enable KPTI if any of
    the CPUs in the system lacks E0PD, this will rewrite any global mappings
    that were established in systems where some but not all CPUs support
    E0PD.  We may transiently have a mix of global and non-global mappings
    while booting since we use the local CPU when deciding if KPTI will be
    required prior to completing CPU enumeration but any global mappings
    will be converted to non-global ones when KPTI is applied.
    
    KPTI can still be forced on from the command line if required.
