x86/mm/pat: Fix BUG_ON() in mmap_mem() on QEMU/i386
commit 1886297ce0c8d563a08c8a8c4c0b97743e06cd37 upstream.
The following BUG_ON() crash was reported on QEMU/i386:
kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:79!
Call Trace:
phys_mem_access_prot_allowed
mmap_mem
? mmap_region
mmap_region
do_mmap
vm_mmap_pgoff
SyS_mmap_pgoff
do_int80_syscall_32
entry_INT80_32
after commit:
edfe63ec97ed ("x86/mtrr: Fix Xorg crashes in Qemu sessions")
PAT is now set to disabled state when MTRRs are disabled.
Thus, reactivating the __pa(high_memory) check in
phys_mem_access_prot_allowed().
When CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is set, __pa() calls __phys_addr(),
which in turn calls slow_virt_to_phys() for 'high_memory'.
Because 'high_memory' is set to (the max direct mapped virt
addr + 1), it is not a valid virtual address. Hence,
slow_virt_to_phys() returns 0 and hit the BUG_ON. Using
__pa_nodebug() instead of __pa() will fix this BUG_ON.
However, this code block, originally written for Pentiums and
earlier, is no longer adequate since a 32-bit Xen guest has
MTRRs disabled and supports ZONE_HIGHMEM. In this setup,
this code sets UC attribute for accessing RAM in high memory
range.
Delete this code block as it has been unused for a long time.
