commit 027ef6c87853b0a9df53175063028edb4950d476 upstream.

In many places !pmd_present has been converted to pmd_none.  For pmds
that's equivalent and pmd_none is quicker so using pmd_none is better.

However (unless we delete pmd_present) we should provide an accurate
pmd_present too.  This will avoid the risk of code thinking the pmd is non
present because it's under __split_huge_page_map, see the pmd_mknotpresent
there and the comment above it.

If the page has been mprotected as PROT_NONE, it would also lead to a
pmd_present false negative in the same way as the race with
split_huge_page.

Because the PSE bit stays on at all times (both during split_huge_page and
when the _PAGE_PROTNONE bit get set), we could only check for the PSE bit,
but checking the PROTNONE bit too is still good to remember pmd_present
must always keep PROT_NONE into account.

This explains a not reproducible BUG_ON that was seldom reported on the
lists.

The same issue is in pmd_large, it would go wrong with both PROT_NONE and
if it races with split_huge_page.

Pull Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 - Fix M2P batching re-using the incorrect structure field.

   In v3.5 we added batching for M2P override (Machine Frame Number -&gt;
   Physical Frame Number), but the original MFN was saved in an
   incorrect structure - and we would oops/restore when restoring with
   the old MFN.

 - Disable BIOS SMP MP table search.

   A bootup issue that we had ignored until we found that on DL380 G6 it
   was needed.

If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use
kmap_op-&gt;dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is
part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it
might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later
on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is
actually what Xen has written to it.

Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using
page-&gt;index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to
m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead.
It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op
corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only
user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).
