[PATCH 3.14 129/238] x86/xen: dont copy bogus duplicate entries into kernel page tables

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0b5a50635fc916cf46e3de0b819a61fc3f17e7ee upstream.

When RANDOMIZE_BASE (KASLR) is enabled; or the sum of all loaded
modules exceeds 512 MiB, then loading modules fails with a warning
(and hence a vmalloc allocation failure) because the PTEs for the
newly-allocated vmalloc address space are not zero.

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 494 at linux/mm/vmalloc.c:128
           vmap_page_range_noflush+0x2a1/0x360()

This is caused by xen_setup_kernel_pagetables() copying
level2_kernel_pgt into level2_fixmap_pgt, overwriting many non-present
entries.

Without KASLR, the normal kernel image size only covers the first half
of level2_kernel_pgt and module space starts after that.

L4[511]->level3_kernel_pgt[510]->level2_kernel_pgt[  0..255]->kernel
                                                  [256..511]->module
                          [511]->level2_fixmap_pgt[  0..505]->module

This allows 512 MiB of of module vmalloc space to be used before
having to use the corrupted level2_fixmap_pgt entries.

With KASLR enabled, the kernel image uses the full PUD range of 1G and
module space starts in the level2_fixmap_pgt. So basically:

L4[511]->level3_kernel_pgt[510]->level2_kernel_pgt[0..511]->kernel
                          [511]->level2_fixmap_pgt[0..505]->module

And now no module vmalloc space can be used without using the corrupt
level2_fixmap_pgt entries.

Fix this by properly converting the level2_fixmap_pgt entries to MFNs,
and setting level1_fixmap_pgt as read-only.

A number of comments were also using the the wrong L3 offset for
level2_kernel_pgt.  These have been corrected.
