Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm/64: define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings()
Define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() to ensure
page tables are properly synchronized when calling p*d_populate_kernel().
For 5-level paging, synchronization is performed via
pgd_populate_kernel(). In 4-level paging, pgd_populate() is a no-op, so
synchronization is instead performed at the P4D level via
p4d_populate_kernel().
This fixes intermittent boot failures on systems using 4-level paging and
a large amount of persistent memory:
