One of my initial recommendation to fix the race was to use non-global mappings
for low identity mappings. As you also bringup the issue of zapping low mappings
very early, how about the appended patch? If it is Ok with you, I will
do a similar one for i386.
--
low address mappings are not zapped after boot as they are required later for
cpu hotplug. These identity mapped low address mappings cause corruption
when udev process is spawned early in boot. Since these low mappings
are mapped global, cr3 writes (during context switches to udev process)
will not flush these identity low mappings. These low mappings will be
used by the kernel when it writes into the udev/hotplug user space,
thereby corrupting kernel memory.
Andi Kleen also brought up another point. We should zap these low mappings,
as soon as possible, so that we can catch kernel bugs more effectively.
This patch introduces boot_level4_pgt, which will always have low identity
addresses mapped. Druing boot, all the processors will use this as their
level4 pgt. On BP, we will switch to init_level4_pgt as soon as we enter
C code and zap the low mappings as soon as we are done with the usage of
identity low mapped addresses. On AP's we will zap the low mappings as
soon as we jump to C code.
