4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dave Hansen <dave.han...@linux.intel.com>
commit 262b6b30087246abf09d6275eb0c0dc421bcbe38 upstream.
This is another case similar to what EFI does: create a new set of
page tables, map some code at a low address, and jump to it. PTI
mistakes this low address for userspace and mistakenly marks it
non-executable in an effort to make it unusable for userspace.
Undo the poison to allow execution.
Fixes: 385ce0ea4c07 ("x86/mm/pti: Add Kconfig")
