stable inclusion from linux-4.19.207 commit 2717db72f74c8e51068801b6327559241c54b86e
--------------------------------
commit 34b1999da935a33be6239226bfa6cd4f704c5c88 upstream.
Jiri Olsa reported a fault when running:

The fault happens because kern_addr_valid() dereferences existent but not present PMD in the high kernel mappings.
Such PMDs are created when free_kernel_image_pages() frees regions larger than 2Mb. In this case, a part of the freed memory is mapped with PMDs and the set_memory_np_noalias() -> ... -> __change_page_attr() sequence will mark the PMD as not present rather than wipe it completely.
Have kern_addr_valid() check whether higher level page table entries are present before trying to dereference them to fix this issue and to avoid similar issues in the future.
Stable backporting note: ------------------------
Note that the stable marking is for all active stable branches because there could be cases where pagetable entries exist but are not valid - see 9a14aefc1d28 ("x86: cpa, fix lookup_address"), for example. So make sure to be on the safe side here and use pXY_present() accessors rather than pXY_none() which could #GP when accessing pages in the direct map.
Also see:

for more info.
