4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com
native_pgd_clear() uses native_set_pgd(), so native_set_pgd() must avoid setting the _PAGE_NX bit on an otherwise pgd_none() entry: usually that just generated a warning on exit, but sometimes more mysterious and damaging failures (our production machines could not complete booting).
The original fix to this just avoided adding _PAGE_NX to an empty entry; but eventually more problems surfaced with kexec, and EFI mapping expected to be a problem too. So now instead change native_set_pgd() to update shadow only if _PAGE_USER:
A few places (kernel/machine_kexec_64.c, platform/efi/efi_64.c for sure) use set_pgd() to set up a temporary internal virtual address space, with physical pages remapped at what Kaiser regards as userspace addresses: Kaiser then assumes a shadow pgd follows, which it will try to corrupt.
This appears to be responsible for the recent kexec and kdump failures; though it's unclear how those did not manifest as a problem before. Ah, the shadow pgd will only be assumed to "follow" if the requested pgd is on an even-numbered page: so I suppose it was going wrong 50% of the time all along.
What we need is a flag to set_pgd(), to tell it we're dealing with userspace. Er, isn't that what the pgd's _PAGE_USER bit is saying? Add a test for that. But we cannot do the same for pgd_clear() (which may be called to clear corrupted entries - set aside the question of "corrupt in which pgd?" until later), so there just rely on pgd_clear() not being called in the problematic cases - with a WARN_ON_ONCE() which should fire half the time if it is.
But this is getting too big for an inline function: move it into arch/x86/mm/kaiser.c (which then demands a boot/compressed mod); and de-void and de-space native_get_shadow/normal_pgd() while here.
