Will Deacon 36639013b3 arm64: mm: Fix lockless walks with static and dynamic page-table folding
Lina reports random oopsen originating from the fast GUP code when
16K pages are used with 4-level page-tables, the fourth level being
folded at runtime due to lack of LPA2.

In this configuration, the generic implementation of
p4d_offset_lockless() will return a 'p4d_t *' corresponding to the
'pgd_t' allocated on the stack of the caller, gup_fast_pgd_range().
This is normally fine, but when the fourth level of page-table is folded
at runtime, pud_offset_lockless() will offset from the address of the
'p4d_t' to calculate the address of the PUD in the same page-table page.
This results in a stray stack read when the 'p4d_t' has been allocated
on the stack and can send the walker into the weeds.

Fix the problem by providing our own definition of p4d_offset_lockless()
when CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS <= 4 which returns the real page-table
pointer rather than the address of the local stack variable.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
