This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
xen/pv: Call get_cpu_address_sizes to set x86_virt/phys_bits
to the 4.17-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:
xen-pv-call-get_cpu_address_sizes-to-set-x86_virt-phys_bits.patch
and it can be found in the queue-4.17 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <sta...@vger.kernel.org> know about it.

Subject: xen/pv: Call get_cpu_address_sizes to set x86_virt/phys_bits
From: M. Vefa Bicakci <m....@runbox.com>
commit 405c018a25fe464dc68057bbc8014a58f2bd4422 upstream.
Commit d94a155c59c9 ("x86/cpu: Prevent cpuinfo_x86::x86_phys_bits
adjustment corruption") has moved the query and calculation of the
x86_virt_bits and x86_phys_bits fields of the cpuinfo_x86 struct
from the get_cpu_cap function to a new function named
get_cpu_address_sizes.
One of the call sites related to Xen PV VMs was unfortunately missed
in the aforementioned commit. This prevents successful boot-up of
kernel versions 4.17 and up in Xen PV VMs if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL
is enabled, due to the following code path:
enlighten_pv.c::xen_start_kernel
mmu_pv.c::xen_reserve_special_pages
page.h::__pa
physaddr.c::__phys_addr
physaddr.h::phys_addr_valid
phys_addr_valid uses boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to validate physical
addresses. boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits is no longer populated before
the call to xen_reserve_special_pages due to the aforementioned commit
though, so the validation performed by phys_addr_valid fails, which
causes __phys_addr to trigger a BUG, preventing boot-up.
