David Hildenbrand aad5f69bc1 fs/proc/page.c: don't access uninitialized memmaps in fs/proc/page.c
There are three places where we access uninitialized memmaps, namely:
- /proc/kpagecount
- /proc/kpageflags
- /proc/kpagecgroup

We have initialized memmaps either when the section is online or when the
page was initialized to the ZONE_DEVICE.  Uninitialized memmaps contain
garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel BUGs, especially with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.

For example, not onlining a DIMM during boot and calling /proc/kpagecount
with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING:

  :/# cat /proc/kpagecount > tmp.test
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffffe
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

For now, let's drop support for ZONE_DEVICE from the three pseudo files
in order to fix this.  To distinguish offline memory (with garbage
memmap) from ZONE_DEVICE memory with properly initialized memmaps, we
would have to check get_dev_pagemap() and pfn_zone_device_reserved()
right now.  The usage of both (especially, special casing devmem) is
frowned upon and needs to be reworked.

The fundamental issue we have is:

	if (pfn_to_online_page(pfn)) {
		/* memmap initialized */
	} else if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
		/*
		 * ???
		 * a) offline memory. memmap garbage.
		 * b) devmem: memmap initialized to ZONE_DEVICE.
		 * c) devmem: reserved for driver. memmap garbage.
		 * (d) devmem: memmap currently initializing - garbage)
		 */
	}

We'll leave the pfn_zone_device_reserved() check in stable_page_flags()
in place as that function is also used from memory failure.  We now no
longer dump information about pages that are not in use anymore -
offline.

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.
