Commit d94a155c59c9 ("x86/cpu: Prevent cpuinfo_x86::x86_phys_bits adjustment corruption") has moved the query and calculation of the x86_virt_bits and x86_phys_bits fields of the cpuinfo_x86 struct from the get_cpu_cap function to a new function named get_cpu_address_sizes.
One of the call sites related to Xen PV VMs was unfortunately missed in the aforementioned commit. This prevents successful boot-up of kernel versions 4.17 and up in Xen PV VMs if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled, due to the following code path:
enlighten_pv.c::xen_start_kernel mmu_pv.c::xen_reserve_special_pages page.h::__pa physaddr.c::__phys_addr physaddr.h::phys_addr_valid
phys_addr_valid uses boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to validate physical addresses. boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits is no longer populated before the call to xen_reserve_special_pages due to the aforementioned commit though, so the validation performed by phys_addr_valid fails, which causes __phys_addr to trigger a BUG, preventing boot-up.
