Joerg Roedel e80d3909be mm: track page table modifications in __apply_to_page_range()
__apply_to_page_range() is also used to change and/or allocate
page-table pages in the vmalloc area of the address space.  Make sure
these changes get synchronized to other page-tables in the system by
calling arch_sync_kernel_mappings() when necessary.

The impact appears limited to x86-32, where apply_to_page_range may miss
updating the PMD.  That leads to explosions in drivers like

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fe036000
  #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
  *pde = 00000000

It looks like kasan, xen and i915 are vulnerable.

Actual impact is "on thinkpad X60 in 5.9-rc1, screen starts blinking
after 30-or-so minutes, and machine is unusable"

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.
