Subject: [PATCH v3 02/13] mm/pgtable: add PAE safety to __pte_offset_map()
There is a faint risk that __pte_offset_map(), on a 32-bit architecture
with a 64-bit pmd_t e.g. x86-32 with CONFIG_X86_PAE=y, would succeed on
a pmdval assembled from a pmd_low and a pmd_high which never belonged
together: their combination not pointing to a page table at all, perhaps
not even a valid pfn. pmdp_get_lockless() is not enough to prevent that.
Guard against that (on such configs) by local_irq_save() blocking TLB
flush between present updates, as linux/pgtable.h suggests. It's only
needed around the pmdp_get_lockless() in __pte_offset_map(): a race when
__pte_offset_map_lock() repeats the pmdp_get_lockless() after getting the
lock, would just send it back to __pte_offset_map() again.
Complement this pmdp_get_lockless_start() and pmdp_get_lockless_end(),
used only locally in __pte_offset_map(), with a pmdp_get_lockless_sync()
synonym for tlb_remove_table_sync_one(): to send the necessary interrupt
at the right moment on those configs which do not already send it.
CONFIG_GUP_GET_PXX_LOW_HIGH is enabled when required by mips, sh and x86.
It is not enabled by arm-32 CONFIG_ARM_LPAE: my understanding is that
Will Deacon's 2020 enhancements to READ_ONCE() are sufficient for arm.
It is not enabled by arc, but its pmd_t is 32-bit even when pte_t 64-bit.
Limit the IRQ disablement to CONFIG_HIGHPTE? Perhaps, but would need a
little more work, to retry if pmd_low good for page table, but pmd_high
non-zero from THP (and that might be making x86-specific assumptions).
