x86/mm: Fix guard hole handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 16877a5 ]

There is a guard hole at the beginning of the kernel address space, also
used by hypervisors. It occupies 16 PGD entries.

This reserved range is not defined explicitely, it is calculated relative
to other entities: direct mapping and user space ranges.

The calculation got broken by recent changes of the kernel memory layout:
LDT remap range is now mapped before direct mapping and makes the
calculation invalid.

The breakage leads to crash on Xen dom0 boot[1].

Define the reserved range explicitely. It's part of kernel ABI (hypervisors
expect it to be stable) and must not depend on changes in the rest of
kernel memory layout.
