In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

highmem: fix checks in __kmap_local_sched_{in,out}

When CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL is enabled __kmap_local_sched_{in,out} check
that even slots in the tsk->kmap_ctrl.pteval are unmapped.  The slots are
initialized with 0 value, but the check is done with pte_none.  0 pte
however does not necessarily mean that pte_none will return true.  e.g.
on xtensa it returns false, resulting in the following runtime warnings:

Fix it by replacing !pte_none(pteval) with pte_val(pteval) != 0.
