Subject: [PATCH 0/1] riscv: Fix P4D_SHIFT definition for 3-level page table mode

+cc linux-mm since I'm struggling to know how bad is this issue and
if this should be picked for 6.1-rc8 or not.

I tested this fix on an Ubuntu kernel in sv39 mode without any issue
but the version without the fix seems to work fine too, either this is
not a real issue or I don't exercise the right thing to make it visible.

Any help appreciated!

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] riscv: Fix P4D_SHIFT definition for 3-level page table mode

RISC-V kernels support 3,4,5-level page tables at runtime by folding
upper levels.

In case of a 3-level page table, PGDIR is folded into P4D which in turn
is folded into PUD: PGDIR_SHIFT value is correctly set to the same value
as PUD_SHIFT, but P4D_SHIFT is not, then any use of P4D_SHIFT will access
invalid address bits (all set to 1).

Fix this by dynamically defining P4D_SHIFT value, like we already do for
PGDIR_SHIFT.

Fixes: d10efa21a937 ("riscv: mm: Control p4d's folding by pgtable_l5_enabled")

Too late for this week, but if someone's got a concrete regression then
I'm happy to take it next week. Otherwise it'll end up on for-next,
it'll be backported anyway but this way it'll have a touch more time.

Thanks!
