commit fb5222aae64fe25e5f3ebefde8214dcf3ba33ca5 upstream.
Patch series "page table check fixes and cleanups", v5.
This patch (of 4):
The pte entry that is used in pte_advanced_tests() is never removed from
the page table at the end of the test.
The issue is detected by page_table_check, to repro compile kernel with
the following configs:
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED=y
During the boot the following BUG is printed:
debug_vm_pgtable: [debug_vm_pgtable ]: Validating architecture page table helpers
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:162!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.16.0-11413-g2c271fe77d52 #3

...
The entry should be properly removed from the page table before the page
is released to the free list.

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.
