4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Will Deacon <[email protected]> commit b5b7dd647f2d21b93f734ce890671cd908e69b0a upstream. We inspect __kpti_forced early on as part of the cpufeature enable callback which remaps the swapper page table using non-global entries. Ensure that __kpti_forced has been updated to reflect the kpti= command-line option before we start using it.
