Steve Wahl 4f2fde5051 x86/mm/ident_map: Use gbpages only where full GB page should be mapped.
commit d794734c9bbfe22f86686dc2909c25f5ffe1a572 upstream.

When ident_pud_init() uses only gbpages to create identity maps, large
ranges of addresses not actually requested can be included in the
resulting table; a 4K request will map a full GB.  On UV systems, this
ends up including regions that will cause hardware to halt the system
if accessed (these are marked "reserved" by BIOS).  Even processor
speculation into these regions is enough to trigger the system halt.

Only use gbpages when map creation requests include the full GB page
of space.  Fall back to using smaller 2M pages when only portions of a
GB page are included in the request.

No attempt is made to coalesce mapping requests. If a request requires
a map entry at the 2M (pmd) level, subsequent mapping requests within
the same 1G region will also be at the pmd level, even if adjacent or
overlapping such requests could have been combined to map a full
gbpage.  Existing usage starts with larger regions and then adds
smaller regions, so this should not have any great consequence.

README

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.
