      x86, smep, smap: Make the switching functions one-way · b2cc2a07
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      There is no fundamental reason why we should switch SMEP and SMAP on
      during early cpu initialization just to switch them off again.  Now
      with %eflags and %cr4 forced to be initialized to a clean state, we
      only need the one-way enable.  Also, make the functions inline to make
      them (somewhat) harder to abuse.
      
      This does mean that SMEP and SMAP do not get initialized anywhere near
      as early.  Even using early_param() instead of __setup() doesn't give
      us control early enough to do this during the early cpu initialization
      phase.  This seems reasonable to me, because SMEP and SMAP should not
      matter until we have userspace to protect ourselves from, but it does
      potentially make it possible for a bug involving a "leak of
      permissions to userspace" to get uncaught.
