Mark Rutland e4365f968f arm64: mm: avoid virt_to_phys(init_mm.pgd)
If we take an unhandled fault in the kernel, we call show_pte() to dump
the {PGDP,PGD,PUD,PMD,PTE} values for the corresponding page table walk,
where the PGDP value is virt_to_phys(mm->pgd).

The boot-time and runtime kernel page tables, init_pg_dir and
swapper_pg_dir respectively, are kernel symbols. Thus, it is not valid
to call virt_to_phys() on either of these, though we'll do so if we take
a fault on a TTBR1 address.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not selected, virt_to_phys() will silently
fix this up. However, when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is selected, this
results in splats as below. Depending on when these occur, they can
happen to suppress information needed to debug the original unhandled
fault, such as the backtrace:

| Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff7fffec73cf0f
| Mem abort info:
|   ESR = 0x96000004
|   EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
|   SET = 0, FnV = 0
|   EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
| Data abort info:
|   ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004
|   CM = 0, WnR = 0
| ------------[ cut here ]------------
| virt_to_phys used for non-linear address: 00000000102c9dbe (swapper_pg_dir+0x0/0x1000)
| WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 7558 at arch/arm64/mm/physaddr.c:15 __virt_to_phys+0xe0/0x170 arch/arm64/mm/physaddr.c:12
| Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...
| SMP: stopping secondary CPUs
| Dumping ftrace buffer:
|    (ftrace buffer empty)
| Kernel Offset: disabled
| CPU features: 0x0002,23000438
| Memory Limit: none
| Rebooting in 1 seconds..

We can avoid this by ensuring that we call __pa_symbol() for
init_mm.pgd, as this will always be a kernel symbol. As the dumped
{PGD,PUD,PMD,PTE} values are the raw values from the relevant entries we
don't need to handle these specially.

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.
