[ Upstream commit f530ee95b72e77b09c141c4b1a4b94d1199ffbd9 ]
The decompressor has a hard limit on the number of page tables it can allocate. This limit is defined at compile-time and will cause boot failure if it is reached.
The kernel is very strict and calculates the limit precisely for the worst-case scenario based on the current configuration. However, it is easy to forget to adjust the limit when a new use-case arises. The worst-case scenario is rarely encountered during sanity checks.
In the case of enabling 5-level paging, a use-case was overlooked. The limit needs to be increased by one to accommodate the additional level. This oversight went unnoticed until Aaron attempted to run the kernel via kexec with 5-level paging and unaccepted memory enabled.
Update wost-case calculations to include 5-level paging.
To address this issue, let's allocate some extra space for page tables. 128K should be sufficient for any use-case. The logic can be simplified by using a single value for all kernel configurations.
[ Also add a warning, should this memory run low - by Dave Hansen. ]
