The Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) Processor x200 Family (codename: Knights Landing) has an erratum where a processor thread setting the Accessed or Dirty bits may not do so atomically against its checks for the Present bit. This may cause a thread (which is about to page fault) to set A and/or D, even though the Present bit had already been atomically cleared. These bits are truly "stray". In the case of the Dirty bit, the thread associated with the stray set was *not* allowed to write to the page. This means that we do not have to launder the bit(s); we can simply ignore them. If the PTE is used for storing a swap index or a NUMA migration index, the A bit could be misinterpreted as part of the swap type. The stray bits being set cause a software-cleared PTE to be interpreted as a swap entry. In some cases (like when the swap index ends up being for a non-existent swapfile), the kernel detects the stray value and WARN()s about it, but there is no guarantee that the kernel can always detect it. When we have 64-bit PTEs (64-bit mode or 32-bit PAE), we were able to move the swap PTE format around to avoid these troublesome bits. But, 32-bit non-PAE is tight on bits. So, disallow it from running on this hardware. I can't imagine anyone wanting to run 32-bit non-highmem kernels on this hardware, but disallowing them from running entirely is surely the safe thing to do.
