Jann Horn 0708fd6bd8 x86/mm: Fix flush_tlb_range() when used for zapping normal PMDs 
commit 3ef938c350 upstream.

On the following path, flush_tlb_range() can be used for zapping normal
PMD entries (PMD entries that point to page tables) together with the PTE
entries in the pointed-to page table:

    collapse_pte_mapped_thp
      pmdp_collapse_flush
        flush_tlb_range

The arm64 version of flush_tlb_range() has a comment describing that it can
be used for page table removal, and does not use any last-level
invalidation optimizations. Fix the X86 version by making it behave the
same way.

Currently, X86 only uses this information for the following two purposes,
which I think means the issue doesn't have much impact:

 - In native_flush_tlb_multi() for checking if lazy TLB CPUs need to be
   IPI'd to avoid issues with speculative page table walks.
 - In Hyper-V TLB paravirtualization, again for lazy TLB stuff.

The patch "x86/mm: only invalidate final translations with INVLPGB" which
is currently under review (see
<https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241230175550.4046587-13-riel@surriel.com/>)
would probably be making the impact of this a lot worse.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
