x86/mm/pti: Clone CPU_ENTRY_AREA on PMD level on x86_32

joergroedel · KAGA-KOKO · commit f94560cd6b51 · 2018-07-20T01:11:44.000+02:00
Cloning on the P4D level would clone the complete kernel address space into the user-space page-tables for PAE kernels. Cloning on PMD level is fine for PAE and legacy paging.
