This code seems to be very old and has gotten only minor updates.
It's overcomplicated and has a bunch of comments that are, at best,
of purely historical interest. Nowadays we have a shiny function
probe_kernel_write() that does more or less exactly what we need.
Use it.
I switched the page that we test from swapper_pg_dir to
empty_zero_page because writing zero to empty_zero_page is more
obviously safe than writing to the paging structures. (It's
extremely unlikely that any of this would cause problems in practice
because the write will fail on any supported CPU.)

Commit 1b028f784e introduced two mmap() bases for 32-bit syscalls and for
64-bit syscalls. The mmap() code in x86 was modified to handle the
separation, but the patch series missed to update the hugetlb code.
As a consequence a 32bit application mapping a file on hugetlbfs uses the
64-bit mmap base for address space allocation, which fails.
Adjust the hugetlb mapping code to use the proper bases depending on the
syscall invocation mode (64-bit or compat).

mmap() uses a base address, from which it starts to look for a free space
for allocation.
The base address is stored in mm->mmap_base, which is calculated during
exec(). The address depends on task's size, set rlimit for stack, ASLR
randomization. The base depends on the task size and the number of random
bits which are different for 64-bit and 32bit applications.
Due to the fact, that the base address is fixed, its mmap() from a compat
(32bit) syscall issued by a 64bit task will return a address which is based
on the 64bit base address and does not fit into the 32bit address space
(4GB). The returned pointer is truncated to 32bit, which results in an
invalid address.
To solve store a seperate compat address base plus a compat legacy address
base in mm_struct. These bases are calculated at exec() time and can be
used later to address the 32bit compat mmap() issued by 64 bit
applications.
As a consequence of this change 32-bit applications issuing a 64-bit
syscall (after doing a long jump) will get a 64-bit mapping now. Before
this change 32-bit applications always got a 32bit mapping.

Remove the wp_works_ok member of struct cpuinfo_x86. It's an
optimization back from Linux v0.99 times where we had no fixup support
yet and did the CR0.WP test via special code in the page fault handler.
The < 0 test was an optimization to not do the special casing for each
NULL ptr access violation but just for the first one doing the WP test.
Today it serves no real purpose as the test no longer needs special code
in the page fault handler and the only call side -- mem_init() -- calls
it just once, anyway. However, Xen pre-initializes it to 1, to skip the
test.
Doing the test again for Xen should be no issue at all, as even the
commit introducing skipping the test (commit d560bc6157 ("x86, xen:
Suppress WP test on Xen")) mentioned it being ban aid only. And, in
fact, testing the patch on Xen showed nothing breaks.
The pre-fixup times are long gone and with the removal of the fallback
handling code in commit a5c2a893db ("x86, 386 removal: Remove
CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK") the kernel requires a working CR0.WP anyway.
So just get rid of the "optimization" and do the test unconditionally.

To identify that pages of page table are allocated from bootmem
allocator, magic number sets to page->lru.next.
But page->lru list is initialized in reserve_bootmem_region(). So when
calling free_pagetable(), the function cannot find the magic number of
pages. And free_pagetable() frees the pages by free_reserved_page() not
put_page_bootmem().
But if the pages are allocated from bootmem allocator and used as page
table, the pages have private flag. So before freeing the pages, we
should clear the private flag by put_page_bootmem().
Before applying the commit 7bfec6f47b ("mm, page_alloc: check multiple
page fields with a single branch"), we could find the following visible
issue:
BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/u1024:1
page:ffffea103cfd8040 count:0 mapcount:0 mappi
flags: 0x6fffff80000800(private)

And the issue still silently occurs.
Until freeing the pages of page table allocated from bootmem allocator,
the page->freelist is never used. So the patch sets magic number to
page->freelist instead of page->lru.next.

Enabling both DEBUG_WX=y and KASAN=y options significantly increases
boot time (dozens of seconds at least).
KASAN fills kernel page tables with repeated values to map several
TBs of the virtual memory to the single kasan_zero_page:
kasan_zero_pud ->
kasan_zero_pmd->
kasan_zero_pte->
kasan_zero_page
So, the page table walker used to find W+X mapping check the same
kasan_zero_p?d page table entries a lot more than once.
With patch pud walker will skip the pud if it has the same value as
the previous one . Skipping done iff we search for W+X mappings,
so this optimization won't affect the page table dump via debugfs.
This dropped time spend in W+X check from ~30 sec to reasonable 0.1 sec:
Before:
[ 4.579991] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1000K
[ 35.257523] x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
After:

CONFIG_KASAN=y needs a lot of virtual memory mapped for its shadow.
In that case ptdump_walk_pgd_level_core() takes a lot of time to
walk across all page tables and doing this without
a rescheduling causes soft lockups:
NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 23s! [swapper/0:1]

Although wbinvd() is faster than flushing many individual pages, it blocks
the memory bus for "long" periods of time (>100us), thus directly causing
unusually large latencies on all CPUs, regardless of any CPU isolation
features that may be active. This is an unpriviledged operatation as it is
exposed to user space via the graphics subsystem.
For 1024 pages, flushing those pages individually can take up to 2200us,
but the task remains fully preemptible during that time.

We introduced memblock_find_dma_reserve() in this commit:
6f2a75369e x86, memblock: Use memblock_memory_size()/memblock_free_memory_size() to get correct dma_reserve
But there's several problems with it:
- The changelog is full of typos and is incomprehensible in general, and
the comments in the code are not much better either.
- The function was inexplicably placed into e820.c, while it has very
little connection to the E820 table: when we call
memblock_find_dma_reserve() then memblock is already set up and we
are not using the E820 table anymore.
- The function is a wrapper around set_dma_reserve(), but changed the 'set'
name to 'find' - actively misleading about its primary purpose, which is
still to set the DMA-reserve value.
- The function is limited to 64-bit systems, but neither the changelog nor
the comments explain why. The change would appear to be relevant to
32-bit systems as well, as the ISA DMA zone is the first 16 MB of RAM.
So address some of these problems:
- Move it into arch/x86/mm/init.c, next to the other zone setup related
functions.
- Clean up the code flow and names of local variables a bit.
- Rename it to memblock_set_dma_reserve()
- Improve the comments.
No change in functionality. Enabling it for 32-bit systems is left
for a separate patch.
