commit01bd2ac2f5upstream. Commitf7c90c2aa4("x86/xen: don't write ptes directly in 32-bit PV guests") introduced a regression for booting dom0 on huge systems with lots of RAM (in the TB range). Reason is that on those hosts the p2m list needs to be moved early in the boot process and this requires temporary page tables to be created. Said commit modified xen_set_pte_init() to use a hypercall for writing a PTE, but this requires the page table being in the direct mapped area, which is not the case for the temporary page tables used in xen_relocate_p2m(). As the page tables are completely written before being linked to the actual address space instead of set_pte() a plain write to memory can be used in xen_relocate_p2m().

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.
