Commit 8d57470d introduced a kernel panic while setting mem=2G at
boot time, and commit c9b3234a6 turns the the kernel panic to hang.
While, the reason is the same: the are accessing a BAD address; I mean
the mapping is broken.
Here is a mem mapping range dumped at boot time:
[mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] page 4k (0)
[mem 0x7fe00000-0x7fffffff] page 1G (1)
[mem 0x7c000000-0x7fdfffff] page 1G (2)
[mem 0x00100000-0x001fffff] page 4k (3)
[mem 0x00200000-0x7bffffff] page 2M (4)
Where, we met no problems while setting memory map for region (0) to
(3). But we have set PG_LEVEL_1G mapping for pud index 0x1 at (1).
And pud index comes to 0x1 as well while setting 0x40000000-0x7bf00000
part of (4). What's more, it's PG_LEVEL_2M mapping, which results to a
splitting of PG_LEVEL_1G mapping. This breaks former mapping for (1) and
(2). In the same time, due to "end" setting to 0x7c000000, we missed the
chance to fix it at phys_pmd_init() for code:
if (address >= end) {
....
continue;
}
Thus, using a extra flag to indicate we are splitting a large PUD(or PMD)
and changing the above if statement to following will make this issue gone:
if(address >= end && !spliting) {
...
}

I reported this panic regression long time ago, and I didn't notic the above
panic->hang change before, which might confuse Yinghai for understanding
what happened from 2 logs I sent before(one is from 8d57470d, another is
from the HEAD commit at that time, which turn to a hang as stated).
More, it seems that Yinghai can't produce it. And I was busying at
something else. And I finally got a day yesterday(and a good mood ;).
Last, Thanks Changlong's effort for bisecting the 2 above commit.
