x86, mm: Make DEBUG_VIRTUAL work earlier in boot
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The KVM code has some repeated bugs in it around use of __pa() on
per-cpu data.  Those data are not in an area on which using
__pa() is valid.  However, they are also called early enough in
boot that __vmalloc_start_set is not set, and thus the
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL debugging does not catch them.

This adds a check to also verify __pa() calls against max_low_pfn,
which we can use earler in boot than is_vmalloc_addr().  However,
if we are super-early in boot, max_low_pfn=0 and this will trip
on every call, so also make sure that max_low_pfn is set before
we try to use it.

With this patch applied, CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL will actually
catch the bug I was chasing (and fix later in this series).

I'd love to find a generic way so that any __pa() call on percpu
areas could do a BUG_ON(), but there don't appear to be any nice
and easy ways to check if an address is a percpu one.  Anybody
have ideas on a way to do this?
