Subject: [PATCH 5.10 020/122] x86/mm: Fix kern_addr_valid() to cope with existing but not present entries

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@...ux.ibm.com>

commit 34b1999da935a33be6239226bfa6cd4f704c5c88 upstream.

Jiri Olsa reported a fault when running:

  # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep ksys_read
  ffffffff8136d580 T ksys_read
  # objdump -d --start-address=0xffffffff8136d580 --stop-address=0xffffffff8136d590 /proc/kcore

  /proc/kcore:     file format elf64-x86-64

The fault happens because kern_addr_valid() dereferences existent but not
present PMD in the high kernel mappings.

Such PMDs are created when free_kernel_image_pages() frees regions larger
than 2Mb. In this case, a part of the freed memory is mapped with PMDs and
the set_memory_np_noalias() -> ... -> __change_page_attr() sequence will
mark the PMD as not present rather than wipe it completely.

Have kern_addr_valid() check whether higher level page table entries are
present before trying to dereference them to fix this issue and to avoid
similar issues in the future.

Stable backporting note:
------------------------

Note that the stable marking is for all active stable branches because
there could be cases where pagetable entries exist but are not valid -
see 9a14aefc1d28 ("x86: cpa, fix lookup_address"), for example. So make
sure to be on the safe side here and use pXY_present() accessors rather
than pXY_none() which could #GP when accessing pages in the direct map.

Also see:

  c40a56a7818c ("x86/mm/init: Remove freed kernel image areas from alias mapping")

for more info.
