If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Usama Arif [ Upstream commit 84361123413efc84b06f3441c6c827b95d902732 ] When transitioning from 5-level to 4-level paging, the existing code incorrectly accesses page table entries by directly dereferencing CR3 and applying PAGE_MASK. This approach has several issues: - __native_read_cr3() returns the raw CR3 register value, which on x86_64 includes not just the physical address but also flags Bits above the physical address width of the system (i.e. above __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT) are also not masked. - The pgd value is masked by PAGE_SIZE which doesn't take into account the higher bits such as _PAGE_BIT_NOPTISHADOW. Replace this with proper accessor functions: - native_read_cr3_pa(): Uses CR3_ADDR_MASK to additionally mask metadata out of CR3 (like SME or LAM bits). All remaining bits are real address bits or reserved and must be 0. - mask pgd value with PTE_PFN_MASK instead of PAGE_MASK, accounting for flags above bit 51 (_PAGE_BIT_NOPTISHADOW in particular). Bits below 51, but above the max physical address are reserved and must be 0.
