Pull misc fixes from Andrew Morton:
"17 hotfixes. 13 are cc:stable and the remainder address post-6.16
issues or aren't considered necessary for -stable kernels. 11 of these
fixes are for MM.

This includes a three-patch series from Harry Yoo which fixes an
intermittent boot failure which can occur on x86 systems. And a
two-patch series from Alexander Gordeev which fixes a KASAN crash on
S390 systems"

mm: introduce and use {pgd,p4d}_populate_kernel()

Introduce and use {pgd,p4d}_populate_kernel() in core MM code when
populating PGD and P4D entries for the kernel address space. These
helpers ensure proper synchronization of page tables when updating the
kernel portion of top-level page tables.

Until now, the kernel has relied on each architecture to handle
synchronization of top-level page tables in an ad-hoc manner. For
example, see commit 9b861528a801 ("x86-64, mem: Update all PGDs for direct
mapping and vmemmap mapping changes").

However, this approach has proven fragile for following reasons:

1) It is easy to forget to perform the necessary page table
synchronization when introducing new changes.
For instance, commit 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory
savings for compound devmaps") overlooked the need to synchronize
page tables for the vmemmap area.

2) It is also easy to overlook that the vmemmap and direct mapping areas
must not be accessed before explicit page table synchronization.
For example, commit 8d400913c231 ("x86/vmemmap: handle unpopulated
sub-pmd ranges")) caused crashes by accessing the vmemmap area
before calling sync_global_pgds().

To address this, as suggested by Dave Hansen, introduce _kernel() variants
of the page table population helpers, which invoke architecture-specific
hooks to properly synchronize page tables. These are introduced in a new
header file, include/linux/pgalloc.h, so they can be called from common
code.

They reuse existing infrastructure for vmalloc and ioremap.
Synchronization requirements are determined by ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK,
and the actual synchronization is performed by
arch_sync_kernel_mappings().

This change currently targets only x86_64, so only PGD and P4D level
helpers are introduced. Currently, these helpers are no-ops since no
architecture sets PGTBL_{PGD,P4D}_MODIFIED in ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK.

In theory, PUD and PMD level helpers can be added later if needed by other
architectures. For now, 32-bit architectures (x86-32 and arm) only handle
PGTBL_PMD_MODIFIED, so p*d_populate_kernel() will never affect them unless
we introduce a PMD level helper.
