[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 22/47] x86/mm: Remove in_nmi() warning from vmalloc_fault()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

[ Upstream commit 6863ea0cda8725072522cd78bda332d9a0b73150 ]

It is perfectly okay to take page-faults, especially on the
vmalloc area while executing an NMI handler. Remove the
warning.

I don't think this meets stable kernel criteria, as documented.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 23/47] x86/kexec: Allocate 8k PGDs for PTI

[Sasha Levin]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

[ Upstream commit ca38dc8f2724d101038b1205122c93a1c7f38f11 ]

Fuzzing the PTI-x86-32 code with trinity showed unhandled
kernel paging request oops-messages that looked a lot like
silent data corruption.

Lot's of debugging and testing lead to the kexec-32bit code,
which is still allocating 4k PGDs when PTI is enabled. But
since it uses native_set_pud() to build the page-table, it
will unevitably call into __pti_set_user_pgtbl(), which
writes beyond the allocated 4k page.

Use PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER to allocate PGDs in the kexec code
to fix the issue.
