From: Jiri Slaby jslaby@suse.cz
Mostly recycling the commit log from adaba23ccd7d which fixed populate_pmd, but did not fix populate_pud. The same problem exists there.
Stable trees reverted the following patch: Revert "x86/mm/pat: Ensure cpa->pfn only contains page frame numbers"
This reverts commit 87e2bd898d3a79a8c609f183180adac47879a2a4 which is commit edc3b9129cecd0f0857112136f5b8b1bc1d45918 upstream.
but the L1TF patch 02ff2769edbc backported here
x86/mm/pat: Make set_memory_np() L1TF safe
commit 958f79b9ee55dfaf00c8106ed1c22a2919e0028b upstream
set_memory_np() is used to mark kernel mappings not present, but it has it's own open coded mechanism which does not have the L1TF protection of inverting the address bits.
assumed that cpa->pfn contains a PFN. With the above patch reverted it does not, which causes the PUD to be set to an incorrect address shifted by 12 bits, which can cause various failures.
Convert the address to a PFN before passing it to pud_pfn().
This is a 4.4 stable only patch to fix the L1TF patches backport there.
