powerpc/mm/hash: Fix get_region_id() for invalid addresses
Accesses by userspace to random addresses outside the user or kernel address range will generate an SLB fault. When we handle that fault we classify the effective address into several classes, eg. user, kernel linear, kernel virtual etc. For addresses that are completely outside of any valid range, we should not insert an SLB entry at all, and instead immediately an exception. In the past this was handled in two ways. Firstly we would check the top nibble of the address (using REGION_ID(ea)) and that would tell us if the address was user (0), kernel linear (c), kernel virtual (d), or vmemmap (f). If the address didn't match any of these it was invalid. Then for each type of address we would do a secondary check. For the user region we check against H_PGTABLE_RANGE, for kernel linear we would mask the top nibble of the address and then check the address against MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. As part of commit 0034d395 ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Map all the kernel regions in the same 0xc range") we replaced REGION_ID() with get_region_id() and changed the masking of the top nibble to only mask the top two bits, which introduced a bug. Addresses less than (4 << 60) are still handled correctly, they are either less than (1 << 60) in which case they are subject to the H_PGTABLE_RANGE check, or they are correctly checked against MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. However addresses from (4 << 60) to ((0xc << 60) - 1), are incorrectly treated as kernel linear addresses in get_region_id(). Then the top two bits are cleared by EA_MASK in slb_allocate_kernel() and the address is checked against MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, which it passes due to the masking. The end result is we incorrectly insert SLB entries for those addresses. That is not actually catastrophic, having inserted the SLB entry we will then go on to take a page fault for the address and at that point we detect the problem and report it as a bad fault. Still we should not be inserting those entries, or treating them as kernel linear addresses in the first place. So fix get_region_id() to detect addresses in that range and return an invalid region id, which we cause use to not insert an SLB entry and directly report an exception.
