x86/mm/64: Do not dereference non-present PGD entries
The code for preallocate_vmalloc_pages() was written under the
assumption that the p4d_offset() and pud_offset() functions will perform
present checks before dereferencing the parent entries.
This assumption is wrong an leads to a bug in the code which causes the
physical address found in the PGD be used as a page-table page, even if
the PGD is not present.
So the code flow currently is:
pgd = pgd_offset_k(addr);
p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr);
if (p4d_none(*p4d))
p4d = p4d_alloc(&init_mm, pgd, addr);
This lacks a check for pgd_none() at least, the correct flow would be:
pgd = pgd_offset_k(addr);
if (pgd_none(*pgd))
p4d = p4d_alloc(&init_mm, pgd, addr);
else
p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr);
But this is the same flow that the p4d_alloc() and the pud_alloc()
functions use internally, so there is no need to duplicate them.
Remove the p?d_none() checks from the function and just call into
p4d_alloc() and pud_alloc() to correctly pre-allocate the PGD entries.
