Userspace is allowed to select any PAGE_SIZE aligned hva to back guest
memory. This is even the case with hugepages, although it is a rather
suboptimal configuration as PTE level mappings are used at stage-2.
The arm64 page aging handlers have an assumption that the specified
range is exactly one page/block of memory, which in the aforementioned
case is not necessarily true. All together this leads to the WARN() in
kvm_age_gfn() firing.
However, the WARN is only part of the issue as the table walkers visit
at most a single leaf PTE. For hugepage-backed memory in a memslot that
isn't hugepage-aligned, page aging entirely misses accesses to the
hugepage beyond the first page in the memslot.
Add a new walker dedicated to handling page aging MMU notifiers capable
of walking a range of PTEs. Convert kvm(_test)_age_gfn() over to the new
walker and drop the WARN that caught the issue in the first place. The
implementation of this walker was inspired by the test_clear_young()
implementation by Yu Zhao [*], but repurposed to address a bug in the
existing aging implementation.

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.
