commit51c3fbd89dupstream. A decoy address is used by set_mce_nospec() to update the cache attributes for a page that may contain poison (multi-bit ECC error) while attempting to minimize the possibility of triggering a speculative access to that page. When reserve_memtype() is handling a decoy address it needs to convert it to its real physical alias. The conversion, AND'ing with __PHYSICAL_MASK, is broken for a 32-bit physical mask and reserve_memtype() is passed the last physical page. Gert reports triggering the: BUG_ON(start >= end); ...assertion when running a 32-bit non-PAE build on a platform that has a driver resource at the top of physical memory: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved Given that the decoy address scheme is only targeted at 64-bit builds and assumes that the top of physical address space is free for use as a decoy address range, simply bypass address sanitization in the 32-bit case. Lastly, there was no need to crash the system when this failure occurred, and no need to crash future systems if the assumptions of decoy addresses are ever violated. Change the BUG_ON() to a WARN() with an error return. Fixes:510ee090ab("x86/mm/pat: Prepare {reserve, free}_memtype() for...")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
