Defaulting to global mappings for kernel space is generally good for performance and appears to be necessary for Cavium ThunderX. If we subsequently decide that we need to enable kpti, then we need to rewrite our existing page table entries to be non-global. This is fiddly, and made worse by the possible use of contiguous mappings, which require a strict break-before-make sequence. Since the enable callback runs on each online CPU from stop_machine context, we can have all CPUs enter the idmap, where secondaries can wait for the primary CPU to rewrite swapper with its MMU off. It's all fairly horrible, but at least it only runs once.

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.
