Hi Hugh,

this hunk from 0024-kaiser-merged-update.patch:

	-       SWITCH_KERNEL_CR3_NO_STACK
	+       /*
	+        * percpu variables are mapped with user CR3, so no need
	+        * to switch CR3 here.
	+        */
	        cld
	        movq    %rsp, %rdx
	        movq    PER_CPU_VAR(kernel_stack), %rsp

is problematic, as the patchset actually never user-maps kernel_stack
percpu variable, and therefore crashes on NMIs.

The patch below is needed to make NMIs work properly.

Kaiser cannot be used on paravirtualized MMUs (namely reading and writing CR3).
This does not work with KAISER as the CR3 switch from and to user space PGD
would require to map the whole XEN_PV machinery into both.

More importantly, enabling KAISER on Xen PV doesn't make too much sense, as PV
guests use distinct %cr3 values for kernel and user already.

commit a035795499ca1c2bd1928808d1a156eda1420383 upstream.

native_flush_tlb_single() will be changed with the upcoming
PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION feature. This requires to have more code in
there than INVLPG.

Remove the paravirt patching for it.

<content type='text'>
Let kaiser_flush_tlb_on_return_to_user() do the X86_FEATURE_PCID
check, instead of each caller doing it inline first: nobody needs
to optimize for the noPCID case, it's clearer this way, and better
suits later changes.  Replace those no-op X86_CR3_PCID_KERN_FLUSH lines
by a BUILD_BUG_ON() in load_new_mm_cr3(), in case something changes.

<title>kaiser: asm/tlbflush.h handle noPGE at lower level</title>

<id>6a3fe2c11b0c3686ba6cdfc57dcaf4759d6fe595</id>
<content type='text'>
I found asm/tlbflush.h too twisty, and think it safer not to avoid
__native_flush_tlb_global_irq_disabled() in the kaiser_enabled case,
but instead let it handle kaiser_enabled along with cr3: it can just
use __native_flush_tlb() for that, no harm in re-disabling preemption.

(This is not the same change as Kirill and Dave have suggested for
upstream, flipping PGE in cr4: that's neat, but needs a cpu_has_pge
check; cr3 is enough for kaiser, and thought to be cheaper than cr4.)

Also delete the X86_FEATURE_INVPCID invpcid_flush_all_nonglobals()
preference from __native_flush_tlb(): unlike the invpcid_flush_all()
preference in __native_flush_tlb_global(), it's not seen in upstream
4.14, and was recently reported to be surprisingly slow.
