x86/boot/64: Make level2_kernel_pgt pages invalid outside kernel area

commit 2aa85f246c181b1fa89f27e8e20c5636426be624 upstream.

Our hardware (UV aka Superdome Flex) has address ranges marked
reserved by the BIOS. Access to these ranges is caught as an error,
causing the BIOS to halt the system.

Initial page tables mapped a large range of physical addresses that
were not checked against the list of BIOS reserved addresses, and
sometimes included reserved addresses in part of the mapped range.
Including the reserved range in the map allowed processor speculative
accesses to the reserved range, triggering a BIOS halt.

Used early in booting, the page table level2_kernel_pgt addresses 1
GiB divided into 2 MiB pages, and it was set up to linearly map a full
 1 GiB of physical addresses that included the physical address range
of the kernel image, as chosen by KASLR.  But this also included a
large range of unused addresses on either side of the kernel image.
And unlike the kernel image's physical address range, this extra
mapped space was not checked against the BIOS tables of usable RAM
addresses.  So there were times when the addresses chosen by KASLR
would result in processor accessible mappings of BIOS reserved
physical addresses.

The kernel code did not directly access any of this extra mapped
space, but having it mapped allowed the processor to issue speculative
accesses into reserved memory, causing system halts.

This was encountered somewhat rarely on a normal system boot, and much
more often when starting the crash kernel if "crashkernel=512M,high"
was specified on the command line (this heavily restricts the physical
address of the crash kernel, in our case usually within 1 GiB of
reserved space).

The solution is to invalidate the pages of this table outside the kernel
image's space before the page table is activated. It fixes this problem
on our hardware.
