[PATCHv5 14/19] x86/mm: Allow to disable MKTME after enumeration

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-17 11:23:01
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), x86 mm · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Andy Lutomirski, Peter Zijlstra

The new helper mktme_disable() allows to disable MKTME even if it's
enumerated successfully. MKTME initialization may fail and this
functionality allows system to boot regardless of the failure.

MKTME needs per-KeyID direct mapping. It requires a lot more virtual
address space which may be a problem in 4-level paging mode. If the
system has more physical memory than we can handle with MKTME the
feature allows to fail MKTME, but boot the system successfully.
