Kirill A. Shutemov a5b162b2ec x86/mm: Do not use paravirtualized calls in native_set_p4d()
In 4-level paging mode, native_set_p4d() updates the entry in the top-level
page table. With PTI, update to the top-level kernel page table requires
update to the userspace copy of the table as well, using pti_set_user_pgd().

native_set_p4d() uses p4d_val() and pgd_val() to convert types between
p4d_t and pgd_t.

p4d_val() and pgd_val() are paravirtualized and we must not use them in
native helpers, as they crash the boot in paravirtualized environments.

Replace p4d_val() and pgd_val() with native_p4d_val() and
native_pgd_val() in native_set_p4d().

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
