Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Fix kern_addr_valid() to cope with existing but not
present entries
Jiri Olsa reported a fault when running:

The fault happens because kern_addr_valid() dereferences existent but not
present PMD in the high kernel mappings.
Such PMDs are created when free_kernel_image_pages() frees regions larger
than 2Mb. In this case, a part of the freed memory is mapped with PMDs and
the set_memory_np_noalias() -> ... -> __change_page_attr() sequence will
mark the PMD as not present rather than wipe it completely.
Have kern_addr_valid() check whether higher level page table entries are
present before trying to dereference them to fix this issue and to avoid
similar issues in the future.
Stable backporting note:
------------------------
Note that the stable marking is for all active stable branches because
there could be cases where pagetable entries exist but are not valid -
see 9a14aefc1d28 ("x86: cpa, fix lookup_address"), for example. So make
sure to be on the safe side here and use pXY_present() accessors rather
than pXY_none() which could #GP when accessing pages in the direct map.
Also see:
c40a56a7818c ("x86/mm/init: Remove freed kernel image areas from alias mapping")
for more info.
