      arm64/mm: Inhibit huge-vmap with ptdump · 7ba36ecc
      Mark Rutland authored
      The arm64 ptdump code can race with concurrent modification of the
      kernel page tables. At the time this was added, this was sound as:
      
      * Modifications to leaf entries could result in stale information being
        logged, but would not result in a functional problem.
      
      * Boot time modifications to non-leaf entries (e.g. freeing of initmem)
        were performed when the ptdump code cannot be invoked.
      
      * At runtime, modifications to non-leaf entries only occurred in the
        vmalloc region, and these were strictly additive, as intermediate
        entries were never freed.
      
      However, since commit:
      
        commit 324420bf ("arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappings")
      
      ... it has been possible to create huge mappings in the vmalloc area at
      runtime, and as part of this existing intermediate levels of table my be
      removed and freed.
      
      It's possible for the ptdump code to race with this, and continue to
      walk tables which have been freed (and potentially poisoned or
      reallocated). As a result of this, the ptdump code may dereference bogus
      addresses, which could be fatal.
      
      Since huge-vmap is a TLB and memory optimization, we can disable it when
      the runtime ptdump code is in use to avoid this problem.
