x86/mm: Fix _pgd_alloc() for Xen PV mode

2025-04-23T14:49:14Z

Recently _pgd_alloc() was switched from using __get_free_pages() to pagetable_alloc_noprof(), which might return a compound page in case the allocation order is larger than 0. On x86 this will be the case if CONFIG_MITIGATION_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION is set, even if PTI has been disabled at runtime. When running as a Xen PV guest (this will always disable PTI), using a compound page for a PGD will result in VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS being triggered when the Xen code tries to pin the PGD. Fix the Xen issue together with the not needed 8k allocation for a PGD with PTI disabled by replacing PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER with an inline helper returning the needed order for PGD allocations.

x86/percpu/64: Use relative percpu offsets

2025-02-18T09:15:27Z

The percpu section is currently linked at absolute address 0, because older compilers hard-coded the stack protector canary value at a fixed offset from the start of the GS segment. Now that the canary is a normal percpu variable, the percpu section does not need to be linked at a specific address. x86-64 will now calculate the percpu offsets as the delta between the initial percpu address and the dynamically allocated memory, like other architectures. Note that GSBASE is limited to the canonical address width (48 or 57 bits, sign-extended). As long as the kernel text, modules, and the dynamically allocated percpu memory are all in the negative address space, the delta will not overflow this limit.

mm/memblock: add memblock_alloc_or_panic interface

2025-01-26T04:22:38Z

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically, improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require this behavior.
