Subject: [PATCH v2 mm-hotfixes 3/5] x86/mm: define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings()
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 08:42:01 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250720234203.9126-4-harry.yoo@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250720234203.9126-1-harry.yoo@oracle.com>

Define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() to ensure
page tables are properly synchronized when calling p*d_populate_kernel().
It is inteneded to synchronize page tables via pgd_pouplate_kernel() when
5-level paging is in use and via p4d_pouplate_kernel() when 4-level paging
is used.

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:

   </TASK>

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