commit d794734c9bbfe22f86686dc2909c25f5ffe1a572 upstream.
When ident_pud_init() uses only gbpages to create identity maps, large
ranges of addresses not actually requested can be included in the
resulting table; a 4K request will map a full GB. On UV systems, this
ends up including regions that will cause hardware to halt the system
if accessed (these are marked "reserved" by BIOS). Even processor
speculation into these regions is enough to trigger the system halt.
Only use gbpages when map creation requests include the full GB page
of space. Fall back to using smaller 2M pages when only portions of a
GB page are included in the request.
No attempt is made to coalesce mapping requests. If a request requires
a map entry at the 2M (pmd) level, subsequent mapping requests within
the same 1G region will also be at the pmd level, even if adjacent or
overlapping such requests could have been combined to map a full
gbpage. Existing usage starts with larger regions and then adds
smaller regions, so this should not have any great consequence.

[ Upstream commit a1e2b8b36820d8c91275f207e77e91645b7c6836 ]
Qi Zheng reported crashes in a production environment and provided a
simplified example as a reproducer:
| For example, if we use Qemu to start a two NUMA node kernel,
| one of the nodes has 2M memory (less than NODE_MIN_SIZE),
| and the other node has 2G, then we will encounter the
| following panic:
|
| BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
| <...>
| RIP: 0010:_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x22/0x40
| <...>
| Call Trace:
| <TASK>
| deactivate_slab()
| bootstrap()
| kmem_cache_init()
| start_kernel()
| secondary_startup_64_no_verify()
The crashes happen because of inconsistency between the nodemask that
has nodes with less than 4MB as memoryless, and the actual memory fed
into the core mm.
The commit:
9391a3f9c7f1 ("[PATCH] x86_64: Clear more state when ignoring empty node in SRAT parsing")
... that introduced minimal size of a NUMA node does not explain why
a node size cannot be less than 4MB and what boot failures this
restriction might fix.
Fixes have been submitted to the core MM code to tighten up the
memory topologies it accepts and to not crash on weird input:
mm: page_alloc: skip memoryless nodes entirely
mm: memory_hotplug: drop memoryless node from fallback lists
Andrew has accepted them into the -mm tree, but there are no
stable SHA1's yet.
This patch drops the limitation for minimal node size on x86:
- which works around the crash without the fixes to the core MM.
- makes x86 topologies less weird,
- removes an arbitrary and undocumented limitation on NUMA topologies.

[ Upstream commit f79936545fb122856bd78b189d3c7ee59928c751 ]
Previously, if copy_from_kernel_nofault() was called before
boot_cpu_data.x86_virt_bits was set up, then it would trigger undefined
behavior due to a shift by 64.
This ended up causing boot failures in the latest version of ubuntu2204
in the gcp project when using SEV-SNP.
Specifically, this function is called during an early #VC handler which
is triggered by a CPUID to check if NX is implemented.
