Subject[PATCH] ARC: mm: PAE40: Cast pfn to pte_t in pfn_pte() macro
Date
Originally pfn_pte(pfn, prot) macro had this definition:

__pte(((pfn) << PAGE_SHIFT) | pgprot_val(prot))

The value of pfn (Page Frame Number) is shifted to the left to get the
value of pte (Page Table Entry). Usually a 4-byte value is passed to
this macro as value of pfn. However if Linux is configured with support
of PAE40 then value of pte has 8-byte type because it must contain
additional 8 bits of the physical address. Thus if value of pfn
represents a physical page frame above of 4GB boundary then
shifting of pfn to the left by PAGE_SHIFT wipes most significant
bits of the 40-bit physical address.

As a result all physical addresses above of 4GB boundary in systems
with PAE40 are mapped to virtual address incorrectly. An error may
occur when the kernel tries to unmap such bad pages:

[ECR ]: 0x00050100 => Invalid Read @ 0x41414144 by insn @ 0x801644c6
[EFA ]: 0x41414144
[BLINK ]: unmap_page_range+0x134/0x700

r09: 0x804a807c r10: 0x0000067e r11: 0xffffffff
r12: 0x80164480
Stack Trace:
unmap_page_range+0x17a/0x700

do_munmap+0x210/0x450
SyS_munmap+0x2c/0x50
EV_Trap+0xfc/0x100

So the value of pfn must be casted to pte_t before shifting to
ensure that 40-bit address will not be truncated:

__pte(((pte_t) (pfn) << PAGE_SHIFT) | pgprot_val(prot))
