commit 5e0fb5df2ee871b841f96f9cb6a7f2784e96aa4e upstream. ioremap() calls pud_free_pmd_page() / pmd_free_pte_page() when it creates a pud / pmd map. The following preconditions are met at their entry. - All pte entries for a target pud/pmd address range have been cleared. - System-wide TLB purges have been peformed for a target pud/pmd address range. The preconditions assure that there is no stale TLB entry for the range. Speculation may not cache TLB entries since it requires all levels of page entries, including ptes, to have P & A-bits set for an associated address. However, speculation may cache pud/pmd entries (paging-structure caches) when they have P-bit set. Add a system-wide TLB purge (INVLPG) to a single page after clearing pud/pmd entry's P-bit. SDM 4.10.4.1, Operation that Invalidate TLBs and Paging-Structure Caches, states that: INVLPG invalidates all paging-structure caches associated with the current PCID regardless of the liner addresses to which they correspond.

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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
