The machine_kexec() uses set_memory_x to modify the direct mapping
attributes from RW to RWX. The current implementation of set_memory_x
does not split hugepages in the linear mapping and then when a PGD
mapping is used, the whole PGD is marked as executable. But changing
the permissions at the PGD level must be propagated to all the page
tables. When kexec jumps into control_buffer, the instruction page
fault happens, and there is no minor_pagefault for it, then panic.
The bug is found on an MMU_sv39 machine, and the direct mapping used a
1GB PUD, the pgd entries. Here is the bug output:
kexec_core: Starting new kernel

Given the current flaw in the set_memory_x implementation, the simplest
solution is to fix machine_kexec() to remap control code page outside
the linear mapping. Because the control code buffer was moved from the
direct mapping area to the vmalloc location, we need an additional
va_va_offset to fix up va_pa_offset.

I started working on the set_memory fix and the first thing to do is to
prevent the use of PGD mapping, it's too cumbersome to propagate changes
at this level: IIRC x86 keeps a list of page tables to go through
whenever that happens, that's why Bjorn pre-allocated all the PGD
entries to cover the vmalloc region.
So, to me, the simple fix for this issue is to prevent the use of PGD
mapping. What do you think? Does the following patch work?
