[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 76/85] powerpc/mm: Fix pte_pagesize_index() crash on 4K w/64K hash

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.13.11-ckt28 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 74b5037baa2011a2799e2c43adde7d171b072f9e upstream.

The powerpc kernel can be built to have either a 4K PAGE_SIZE or a 64K
PAGE_SIZE.

However when built with a 4K PAGE_SIZE there is an additional config
option which can be enabled, PPC_HAS_HASH_64K, which means the kernel
also knows how to hash a 64K page even though the base PAGE_SIZE is 4K.

This is used in one obscure configuration, to support 64K pages for SPU
local store on the Cell processor when the rest of the kernel is using
4K pages.

In this configuration, pte_pagesize_index() is defined to just pass
through its arguments to get_slice_psize(). However pte_pagesize_index()
is called for both user and kernel addresses, whereas get_slice_psize()
only knows how to handle user addresses.

This has been broken forever, however until recently it happened to
work. That was because in get_slice_psize() the large kernel address
would cause the right shift of the slice mask to return zero.

However in commit 7aa0727f3302 ("powerpc/mm: Increase the slice range to
64TB"), the get_slice_psize() code was changed so that instead of a
right shift we do an array lookup based on the address. When passed a
kernel address this means we index way off the end of the slice array
and return random junk.

That is only fatal if we happen to hit something non-zero, but when we
do return a non-zero value we confuse the MMU code and eventually cause
a check stop.

This fix is ugly, but simple. When we're called for a kernel address we
return 4K, which is always correct in this configuration, otherwise we
use the slice mask.
