Re: [Resend][PATCH] x86/power/64: Always create temporary identity mapping correctly

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <redacted>

The low-level resume-from-hibernation code on x86-64 uses
kernel_ident_mapping_init() to create the temoprary identity mapping,
but that function assumes that the offset between kernel virtual
addresses and physical addresses is aligned on the PGD level.

However, with a randomized identity mapping base, it may be aligned
on the PUD level and if that happens, the temporary identity mapping
created by set_up_temporary_mappings() will not reflect the actual
kernel identity mapping and the image restoration will fail as a
result (leading to a kernel panic most of the time).

To fix this problem, rework kernel_ident_mapping_init() to support
unaligned offsets between KVA and PA up to the PMD level and make
set_up_temporary_mappings() use it as approprtiate.

This is sort of urgent, because hibernation doesn't work with KASLR on x86-64
in 4.8-rc1 AFAICS and this should make them work together again.

Unless anyone sees any problems with it, I'll queue it up for 4.8-rc2.

Thomas, would it be possible to test it with KASLR enabled, please?

Is that the only patch which needs to be tested? Ontop of which tree?

CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY blew up s2d on my laptop here so I'll run it
once I have the required info from you :)

Thanks.
