With Linux page size of 64K and hardware only supporting 4K hpte, if
we use subpage protection, we always fail for the subpage 0 as shown
below (using the selftest subpage_prot test).
520175565: (4520111850): Failed at 0x0x3fffad4b0000 (p=13,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass !
4520890210: (4520826495): Failed at 0x0x3fffad5b0000 (p=29,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass !
4521574251: (4521510536): Failed at 0x0x3fffad6b0000 (p=45,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass !
4522258324: (4522194609): Failed at 0x0x3fffad7b0000 (p=61,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass !
This is because hash preload wrongly insert the hpte entry for subpage 0
without looking at the subapge protection information. Don't do hash
page table entry preload if we have subpage protection configured for
that range.
