Mike Rapoport 260364d112 arm[64]/memremap: don't abuse pfn_valid() to ensure presence of linear map
The semantics of pfn_valid() is to check presence of the memory map for a
PFN and not whether a PFN is covered by the linear map.  The memory map
may be present for NOMAP memory regions, but they won't be mapped in the
linear mapping.  Accessing such regions via __va() when they are
memremap()'ed will cause a crash.

On v5.4.y the crash happens on qemu-arm with UEFI [1]:

On kernels v5.10.y and newer the same crash won't reproduce on ARM because
commit b10d6bca87 ("arch, drivers: replace for_each_membock() with
for_each_mem_range()") changed the way memory regions are registered in
the resource tree, but that merely covers up the problem.

On ARM64 memory resources registered in yet another way and there the
issue of wrong usage of pfn_valid() to ensure availability of the linear
map is also covered.

Implement arch_memremap_can_ram_remap() on ARM and ARM64 to prevent access
to NOMAP regions via the linear mapping in memremap().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
