Hugh Dickins 8b1cb4a2e8 mm/pagewalk: fix EFI_PGT_DUMP of espfix area 
Booting x86_64 with CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP=y shows messages of the form
"mm/pgtable-generic.c:53: bad pmd (____ptrval____)(8000000100077061)".

EFI_PGT_DUMP dumps all of efi_mm, including the espfix area, which is set
up with pmd entries which fit the pmd_bad() check: so 0d940a9b27 warns
and clears those entries, which would ruin running Win16 binaries.

The failing pte_offset_map() stopped such a kernel from even booting,
until a few commits later be872f83bf changed the pagewalk to tolerate
that: but it needs to be even more careful, to not spoil those entries.

I might have preferred to change init_espfix_ap() not to use "bad" pmd
entries; or to leave them out of the efi_mm dump.  But there is great
value in staying away from there, and a pagewalk check of address against
TASK_SIZE may protect from other such aberrations too.

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.
