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

mm/debug_vm_pgtable: fix BUG_ON with pud advanced test

Architectures like powerpc add debug checks to ensure we find only devmap
PUD pte entries.  These debug checks are only done with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. 
This patch marks the ptes used for PUD advanced test devmap pte entries so
that we don't hit on debug checks on architecture like ppc64 as below.
