[ Upstream commit 4b5bc2ec9a239bce261ffeafdd63571134102323 ]
Now that the following fix:
d0ceea662d45 ("x86/mm: Add _PAGE_NOPTISHADOW bit to avoid updating userspace page tables")
stops kernel_ident_mapping_init() from scribbling over the end of a
4KiB PGD by assuming the following 4KiB will be a userspace PGD,
there's no good reason for the kexec PGD to be part of a single
8KiB allocation with the control_code_page.
( It's not clear that that was the reason for x86_64 kexec doing it that
way in the first place either; there were no comments to that effect and
it seems to have been the case even before PTI came along. It looks like
it was just a happy accident which prevented memory corruption on kexec. )
Either way, it definitely isn't needed now. Just allocate the PGD
separately on x86_64, like i386 already does.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
