Harry Yoo 26ff568f39 x86/mm/64: define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings()
commit 6659d027998083fbb6d42a165b0c90dc2e8ba989 upstream.

Define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() to ensure
page tables are properly synchronized when calling p*d_populate_kernel().

For 5-level paging, synchronization is performed via
pgd_populate_kernel().  In 4-level paging, pgd_populate() is a no-op, so
synchronization is instead performed at the P4D level via
p4d_populate_kernel().

This fixes intermittent boot failures on systems using 4-level paging and
a large amount of persistent memory:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe70000000034
  #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
  PGD 0 P4D 0
  Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI
  RIP: 0010:__init_single_page+0x9/0x6d
  Call Trace:

It also fixes a crash in vmemmap_set_pmd() caused by accessing vmemmap
before sync_global_pgds() [1]:

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.

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.
