[PATCH v3 05/20] x86/alternative: Initialize temporary mm for patching

[Rick Edgecombe]

From: Nadav Amit <namit at vmware.com>

To prevent improper use of the PTEs that are used for text patching, the
next patches will use a temporary mm struct. Initailize it by copying
the init mm.

The address that will be used for patching is taken from the lower area
that is usually used for the task memory. Doing so prevents the need to
frequently synchronize the temporary-mm (e.g., when BPF programs are
installed), since different PGDs are used for the task memory.

Finally, randomize the address of the PTEs to harden against exploits
that use these PTEs.
