JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-150765 commit f2d2f9598ebb0158a3fe17cda0106d7752e654a2 Author: Harry Yoo <harry.yoo@oracle.com> Date: Mon Aug 18 11:02:05 2025 +0900 mm: introduce and use {pgd,p4d}_populate_kernel() Introduce and use {pgd,p4d}_populate_kernel() in core MM code when populating PGD and P4D entries for the kernel address space. These helpers ensure proper synchronization of page tables when updating the kernel portion of top-level page tables. Until now, the kernel has relied on each architecture to handle synchronization of top-level page tables in an ad-hoc manner. For example, see commit9b861528a8("x86-64, mem: Update all PGDs for direct mapping and vmemmap mapping changes"). However, this approach has proven fragile for following reasons: 1) It is easy to forget to perform the necessary page table synchronization when introducing new changes. For instance, commit 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for compound devmaps") overlooked the need to synchronize page tables for the vmemmap area. 2) It is also easy to overlook that the vmemmap and direct mapping areas must not be accessed before explicit page table synchronization. For example, commit8d400913c2("x86/vmemmap: handle unpopulated sub-pmd ranges")) caused crashes by accessing the vmemmap area before calling sync_global_pgds(). To address this, as suggested by Dave Hansen, introduce _kernel() variants of the page table population helpers, which invoke architecture-specific hooks to properly synchronize page tables. These are introduced in a new header file, include/linux/pgalloc.h, so they can be called from common code. They reuse existing infrastructure for vmalloc and ioremap. Synchronization requirements are determined by ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK, and the actual synchronization is performed by arch_sync_kernel_mappings(). This change currently targets only x86_64, so only PGD and P4D level helpers are introduced. Currently, these helpers are no-ops since no architecture sets PGTBL_{PGD,P4D}_MODIFIED in ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK. In theory, PUD and PMD level helpers can be added later if needed by other architectures. For now, 32-bit architectures (x86-32 and arm) only handle PGTBL_PMD_MODIFIED, so p*d_populate_kernel() will never affect them unless we introduce a PMD level helper.
