Subject: [PATCH] x86: mm: Do not use set_{pud,pmd}_safe when splitting the large page
Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2019 19:11:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190408191103.13501-1-brijesh.singh@amd.com> (raw)

The following commit 0a9fe8ca844d ("x86/mm: Validate kernel_physical_mapping_init()
PTE population") triggers the below warning in the SEV guest.

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/include/asm/pgalloc.h:87 phys_pmd_init+0x30d/0x386
Call Trace:
 kernel_physical_mapping_init+0xce/0x259
 early_set_memory_enc_dec+0x10f/0x160
 kvm_smp_prepare_boot_cpu+0x71/0x9d
 start_kernel+0x1c9/0x50b
 secondary_startup_64+0xa4/0xb0

The SEV guest calls kernel_physical_mapping_init() to clear the encryption
mask from an existing mapping. While clearing the encryption mask
kernel_physical_mapping_init() splits the large pages into the smaller.
To split the page, the kernel_physical_mapping_init() allocates a new page
and updates the existing entry. The set_{pud,pmd}_safe triggers warning
when updating the entry with page in the present state. We should use the
set_{pud,pmd} when updating an existing entry with the new entry.

Updating an entry will also requires a TLB flush. Currently the caller
(early_set_memory_enc_dec()) is taking care of issuing the TLB flushes.
