x86/boot: Fix page table access in 5-level to 4-level paging transition
When transitioning from 5-level to 4-level paging, the existing code
incorrectly accesses page table entries by directly dereferencing CR3 and
applying PAGE_MASK. This approach has several issues:
- __native_read_cr3() returns the raw CR3 register value, which on x86_64
includes not just the physical address but also flags. Bits above the
physical address width of the system i.e. above __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT) are
also not masked.
- The PGD entry is masked by PAGE_SIZE which doesn't take into account the
higher bits such as _PAGE_BIT_NOPTISHADOW.
Replace this with proper accessor functions:
- native_read_cr3_pa(): Uses CR3_ADDR_MASK to additionally mask metadata out
of CR3 (like SME or LAM bits). All remaining bits are real address bits or
reserved and must be 0.
- mask pgd value with PTE_PFN_MASK instead of PAGE_MASK, accounting for flags
above bit 51 (_PAGE_BIT_NOPTISHADOW in particular). Bits below 51, but above
the max physical address are reserved and must be 0.
