x86: Fix adjust_range_size_mask calling position
Commit
8d57470d x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
causes a kernel panic while setting mem=2G.
[mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] page 4k
[mem 0x7fe00000-0x7fffffff] page 1G
[mem 0x7c000000-0x7fdfffff] page 1G
[mem 0x00100000-0x001fffff] page 4k
[mem 0x00200000-0x7bffffff] page 2M
for last entry is not what we want, we should have
[mem 0x00200000-0x3fffffff] page 2M
[mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff] page 1G
Actually we merge the continuous ranges with same page size too early.
in this case, before merging we have
[mem 0x00200000-0x3fffffff] page 2M
[mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff] page 2M
after merging them, will get
[mem 0x00200000-0x7bffffff] page 2M
even we can use 1G page to map
[mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff]
that will cause problem, because we already map
[mem 0x7fe00000-0x7fffffff] page 1G
[mem 0x7c000000-0x7fdfffff] page 1G
with 1G page, aka [0x40000000-0x7fffffff] is mapped with 1G page already.
During phys_pud_init() for [0x40000000-0x7bffffff], it will not
reuse existing that pud page, and allocate new one then try to use
2M page to map it instead, as page_size_mask does not include
PG_LEVEL_1G. At end will have [7c000000-0x7fffffff] not mapped, loop
in phys_pmd_init stop mapping at 0x7bffffff.
That is right behavoir, it maps exact range with exact page size that
we ask, and we should explicitly call it to map [7c000000-0x7fffffff]
before or after mapping 0x40000000-0x7bffffff.
Anyway we need to make sure ranges' page_size_mask correct and consistent
after split_mem_range for each range.
Fix that by calling adjust_range_size_mask before merging range
with same page size.
-v2: update change log.
-v3: add more explanation why [7c000000-0x7fffffff] is not mapped, and
it causes panic.
