Enabling KASLR forces the use of non-global page-table entries for kernel mappings, as this is a decision that we have to make very early on before mapping the kernel proper. When used in conjunction with the "kpti=off" command-line option, it is possible to use non-global kernel mappings but with the kpti trampoline disabled. Since commit09e3c22a86("arm64: Use a variable to store non-global mappings decision"), arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() reflects only the use of non-global mappings and does not take into account whether the kpti trampoline is enabled. This breaks context switching of the TPIDRRO_EL0 register for 64-bit tasks, where the clearing of the register is deferred to the ret-to-user code, but it also breaks the ARM SPE PMU driver which helpfully recommends passing "kpti=off" on the command line! Report whether or not KPTI is actually enabled in arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() and check the 'arm64_use_ng_mappings' global variable directly when determining the protection flags for kernel mappings.

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.
