This is not something we should backport. This is a refactoring targeting v6.17.

Move ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() to
linux/pgtable.h so that they can be used outside of vmalloc and ioremap.

When fuzzing USB with syzkaller on a PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel, following
bug is triggered in the ksoftirqd context.

To reproduce on PREEMPT_RT kernel:
$ git remote add rt-devel git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git
$ git fetch rt-devel
$ git checkout -b v6.16-rc1-rt1 v6.16-rc1-rt1
I have attached the syzlang and the C source code converted by syz-prog2c:
Link: https://gist.github.com/kzall0c/9455aaa246f4aa1135353a51753adbbe
Then, run with a PREEMPT_RT config.
This issue was introduced by commit
f85d39dd7ed8 ("kcov, usb: disable interrupts in kcov_remote_start_usb_softirq").
However, this creates a conflict on PREEMPT_RT kernels. The local_irq_save()
call establishes an atomic context where sleeping is forbidden. Inside this
context, kcov_remote_start() is called, which on PREEMPT_RT uses sleeping
locks (spinlock_t and local_lock_t are mapped to rt_mutex). This results in
a sleeping function called from invalid context.
On PREEMPT_RT, interrupt handlers are threaded, so the re-entrancy scenario
is already safely handled by the existing local_lock_t and the global
kcov_remote_lock within kcov_remote_start(). Therefore, the outer
local_irq_save() is not necessary.
This preserves the intended re-entrancy protection for non-RT kernels while
resolving the locking violation on PREEMPT_RT kernels.
After making this modification and testing it, syzkaller fuzzing the
PREEMPT_RT kernel is now running without stopping on latest announced
Real-time Linux.
