Subject: KVM: arm/arm64: Check pagesize when allocating a hugepage at Stage 2
From: Punit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@xxxxxxx>
commit c507babf10ead4d5c8cca704539b170752a8ac84 upstream.
KVM only supports PMD hugepages at stage 2 but doesn't actually check
that the provided hugepage memory pagesize is PMD_SIZE before populating
stage 2 entries.
In cases where the backing hugepage size is smaller than PMD_SIZE (such
as when using contiguous hugepages), KVM can end up creating stage 2
mappings that extend beyond the supplied memory.
Fix this by checking for the pagesize of userspace vma before creating
PMD hugepage at stage 2.
