x86: zap invalid and unused pmds in early boot
The early boot code maps KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (currently 40MB) starting from __START_KERNEL_map. The kernel itself only needs _text to _end mapped in the high alias. On relocatible kernels the ASM setup code adjusts the compile time created high mappings to the relocation. This creates invalid pmd entries for negative offsets: 0xffffffff80000000 -> pmd entry: ffffffffff2001e3 It points outside of the physical address space and is marked present. This starts at the virtual address __START_KERNEL_map and goes up to the point where the first valid physical address (0x0) is mapped. Zap the mappings before _text and after _end right away in early boot. This removes also the invalid entries. Furthermore it simplifies the range check for high aliases.

175 * The head.S code sets up the kernel high mapping from:
176 * __START_KERNEL_map to __START_KERNEL_map + KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE
177 *
178 * phys_addr holds the negative offset to the kernel, which is added
179 * to the compile time generated pmds. This results in invalid pmds up
180 * to the point where we hit the physaddr 0 mapping.
181 *
182 * We limit the mappings to the region from _text to _end. _end is
183 * rounded up to the 2MB boundary. This catches the invalid pmds as
184 * well, as they are located before _text:
