Kirill A. Shutemov 81c7ed296d x86/boot/64: Fix crash if kernel image crosses page table boundary 
A kernel which boots in 5-level paging mode crashes in a small percentage
of cases if KASLR is enabled.

This issue was tracked down to the case when the kernel image unpacks in a
way that it crosses an 1G boundary. The crash is caused by an overrun of
the PMD page table in __startup_64() and corruption of P4D page table
allocated next to it. This particular issue is not visible with 4-level
paging as P4D page tables are not used.

But the P4D and the PUD calculation have similar problems.

The PMD index calculation is wrong due to operator precedence, which fails
to confine the PMDs in the PMD array on wrap around.

The P4D calculation for 5-level paging and the PUD calculation calculate
the first index correctly, but then blindly increment it which causes the
same issue when a kernel image is located across a 512G and for 5-level
paging across a 46T boundary.

This wrap around mishandling was introduced when these parts moved from
assembly to C.

Restore it to the correct behaviour.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
