Again, please work with your lawyers so that they can give you the correct legal advice, one that they are comfortable having a patch with a signed-off-by from an Intel employee to have. So next time you submit this, please have an Intel lawyer on the signed-off-by chain so that we know it is meeting their rules. thanks, greg k-h

To capture potential programming errors like mistakenly setting Global bit on kernel page table entries, a selftest for meltdown is added. This selftest is based on https://github.com/IAIK/meltdown. What this test does is to firstly set a predefined string at a random user address and then with pagemap, get the physical address of this string. Finally, try to fetch the data using kernel's directmap address for this physical address to see if user space can use kernel's page table. Per my tests, this test works well on CPUs that have TSX support. For this reason, this selftest only works on CPUs that supports TSX. This test requires the knowledge of direct map base. IAIK used the following two methods to get direct map base: 1 through a kernel module to show phys_to_virt(0); 2 by exploiting the same HW vulnerability to guess the base. Method 1 makes running this selftest complex while method 2 is not reliable and I do not want to use a possibly wrong value to run this test. Suggestions are welcome. Tested on both x86_64 and i386_pae VMs on a host with i7-7700K cpu, success rate is about 50% when nopti kernel cmdline is used.
